Menstrual Irregularities Treatment at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East
An unpredictable cycle is hard to plan work, travel, or family around. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a gynaecology hospital in Mumbai where evaluation is organised so that the cause is found without repeated visits. Some variation is normal, and a few days either way is not a concern. A pattern that keeps shifting is. Our hospital offers irregular periods treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai for women across age groups, with tests and consultation sequenced to keep the process short.
What Counts as an Irregular Cycle
A typical cycle is 21 to 35 days, with three to seven days of bleeding. Departures from that range are irregular:
- Cycles shorter than 21 days
- Gaps longer than 35 days, or cycles that vary widely
- Three or more missed periods without pregnancy
- Markedly heavier or lighter flow than usual
- Bleeding between periods
These are signals for further assessment and not a diagnosis by themselves.
Types of Menstrual Disorders
Cycle problems are classified into types, and the type shapes the menstrual disorder treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai that follows.
- Oligomenorrhoea (infrequent periods)
- Amenorrhoea (no periods for three months or more, excluding pregnancy and breastfeeding)
- Menorrhagia (heavy or prolonged bleeding)
- Polymenorrhoea (frequent periods)
- Dysmenorrhoea (painful periods that disrupt daily activity)
What Causes Them
Hormonal imbalance is behind most cases. PCOS affects ovulation, while thyroid disorders of either kind can unsettle the cycle. Chronic stress, sudden weight change and heavy training also disturb the hormones involved, and perimenopause makes cycles less predictable.
Fibroids and polyps can present first as heavy or irregular bleeding. Hormonal contraceptives, blood thinners and certain psychiatric medicines may alter bleeding too, so the doctor should be told about all medication.
When It Signals Something Serious
These patterns call for prompt attention:
- Soaking a pad or tampon within an hour
- Passing large clots
- Bleeding lasting beyond seven days
- Bleeding after menopause
- Severe pain not eased by standard relief
- Irregular periods with unexplained weight change, fatigue or excess hair growth
Diagnosis of Menstrual Irregularities
The doctor takes a history covering cycle length, flow, pain and recent changes, then performs a pelvic examination. Ultrasound identifies fibroids, polyps and cysts. Blood tests assess hormones, thyroid function and, if bleeding is heavy, anaemia. Investigations are planned together, so results are available for one review.
Treatment Approaches
Treatment depends on the cause.
- Lifestyle correction of sleep, diet and exercise often restores regularity within a few cycles
- Medical management of PCOS or thyroid dysfunction addresses the hormonal cause
- Hormonal therapy, including oral contraceptives, stabilises cycles or reduces heavy flow
- A targeted procedure is considered when fibroids, polyps or other structural causes are found
