Why You Should Take Menstrual Cycle Complications Seriously

Many women silently suffer from menstrual disorders, often without realizing the potential seriousness of their symptoms. Despite societal progress, periods remain taboo, hindering open discussions about menstruation-related health problems. Consequently, women may be unaware of possible underlying conditions associated with their menstrual cycle. Fortunately, advancements in technology have provided online and digital trackers as tools for monitoring periods. However, for conclusive answers, consulting with an experienced OB/GYN who can offer personalized guidance is crucial.

What You Should Know About Menstrual Disorders and Period Management

Menstrual irregularities, disorders and complications affect a staggering number of women, and too many never receive the medical attention they need to address them. Often, sheer discomfort and embarrassment about the topic of menstruation can discourage affected women from addressing potential issues with their healthcare providers.

Conditions like Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can go undiagnosed simply because the very real and severe symptoms are chalked up to routine Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS). A markedly more painful and disruptive condition that warrants medical attention, PMDD intensifies symptoms commonly associated with PMS, causing severe discomfort and disruption to daily life. More than painful cramps, PMDD encompasses a wide range of profound symptoms, from acne and fatigue all the way to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and even suicidal ideation. In fact, research indicates that up to 34% of people with PMDD have attempted suicide.

• Other menstrual disorders include:
• Dysmenorrhea – severe and difficult-to-manage cramping during menstruation.
• Amenorrhea – the absence of menstrual periods.
• Oligomenorrhea – infrequent or irregular menstrual cycles
• Menorrhagia – heavy bleeding, often accompanied by extended menstrual period duration
