Menstrual disorders cause physical or emotional symptoms before or during your period. For some women, heavy bleeding and other symptoms of these disorders can be severe and lower their quality of life.
There are several types of menstrual disorders:
Dysmenorrhea describes painful menstrual periods. Women experience persistent or severe cramping, lightheadedness, and other symptoms due to intense uterine contractions.
Women can experience menstrual bleeding that’s heavy enough to soak through sanitary pads or tampons within an hour.
PMS causes a range of symptoms, including fatigue, painful breasts, and emotional distress during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
PMDD is a more severe form of PMS that causes intense physical and emotional symptoms leading up to and during monthly periods.
Eveskare provides diagnostic and treatment services for adolescent girls and adult women with menstrual disorders. Dr. Panchamukhi uses evidence-based treatments to ease your symptoms, regulate your periods, and lower your risk for additional complications.
Schedule a diagnostic evaluation for menstrual disorders at Eveskare if you experience issues like:
You should also schedule an appointment if your periods are irregular or you no longer get a monthly period but aren’t sure why.
Dr. Panchamukhi offers on-site blood testing to evaluate your hormone levels. She also performs a pelvic exam and can use ultrasound imaging to closely evaluate your uterus and other reproductive organs.
Eveskare provides customized care plans to treat menstrual disorders and protect your long-term reproductive health. Depending on the nature of your condition, Dr. Panchamukhi may recommend medications or low-dose birth control.
Some women might need a minimally invasive procedure to treat uterine problems contributing to abnormal bleeding.
Dr. Panchamukhi may recommend endometrial ablation, a treatment that uses heat or laser energy to destroy the uterine lining. She also offers myomectomy, a laparoscopic procedure to remove fibroids contributing to heavy bleeding.
When these strategies aren’t working well, Dr. Panchamukhi can perform a hysterectomy to remove your uterus. A hysterectomy will end uterine bleeding for good but is only an option for women who are sure they no longer want children.
