Menstruation
Welcome to Iris Obstetrics & Gynecology, where we prioritize your health and well-being by providing comprehensive insights into various aspects of women’s health. Today, we delve into a topic that is a significant part of many women’s lives: Menstruation.
Understanding Menstruation
Menstruation, often referred to as a period, is a natural biological process that signifies a woman’s reproductive health. It involves the shedding of the uterine lining and occurs typically on a monthly cycle. For many women, menstruation is a routine part of life, yet it can raise numerous questions and concerns.
Common Menstrual Concerns
Many women experience a variety of symptoms that can affect their daily lives. Here are some common menstrual concerns:
- Irregular Cycles: Variations in cycle length or missed periods can indicate underlying health issues.
- Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea): Severe cramps and pain can be debilitating and may require medical evaluation.
- Heavy Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Excessive blood loss can lead to anemia and should be addressed by a healthcare provider.
- PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome): Symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and fatigue can significantly impact quality of life.
When to Seek Medical Advice
While menstruation is a normal biological process, certain symptoms should not be ignored. Consider scheduling an appointment with Iris Obstetrics & Gynecology if you experience:
