Menstrual problem in females

Menstruation is the monthly shedding of the lining of a woman’s uterus (more commonly known as the womb). Menstruation is also known by the terms menses, menstrual period, cycle or period

Menstrual Problems
Menstrual cycle often bring about a variety of uncomfortable symptoms leading to the monthly periods in females. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) encompasses the most common issues,such as mild cramping and fatigue,but symptoms usually go away when the period begins except in extreme cases.
Menstruation that is too heavy or too light ,or the complete absence of a cycle ,may suggest that there are other issues that are contributing to an abnormal menstrual cycle. Remember that a ‘normal’ menstrual cycle means something different for every woman. A cycle that’s regular for you may be abnormal for someone else. It’s important to stay in tune with your body and to talk to your doctor if you notice any significant changes to your menstrual cycle.
There are several different menstrual problems that one may experience.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs one to two weeks before your period begins. Some women experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms. Others experience few symptoms or none at all. PMS can cause bloating,irritability,backaches,headaches,breast soreness,acne,food cravings,excessive fatigue,depression,anxiety,feelings of stress,insomnia,constipation,diarrhea,mild stomach cramps,etc.
You may experience different symptoms every month ,and the severity of these symptoms can also vary. PMS is uncomfortable,but it’s generally not worrisome unless it interferes with your normal activities.

Heavy Periods
Another common menstrual problem is heavy periods known as menorrhagia. This causes one to bleed more than normal. One may also have periods for longer than the average five to seven days. Menorrhagia is mostly caused by hormonal imbalances,especially progesterone and estrogen. Other causes may be: puberty,vaginal infections, cervix inflammation,fibroids, changes in diet or exercise,etc

Absent Periods
In some cases,women may not get their periods. This condition is termed amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is when you don’t get your first period by age sixteen. This may be caused by an issue with the pituitary gland,a congenital defect of the female reproductive system,or a delay in puberty. Secondary amenorrhea occurs when you stop getting your regular periods fit six months or more

Painful Periods
Not only can your period be lighter or heavier than normal,but it can also be painful. Cramps are normal during PMS and they do also occur when your uterus contracts as your period begins. However,some women experience excruciating pain. This condition is termed dysmenorrhea and is likely linked to an underlying medical problem.
