Period problems

Treatment for period problems in Bhugaon, Pune

Periods that are irregular, very heavy, very painful or missed are common, but they are not something you have to put up with. Most causes can be found and treated.

Problems we help with

  • Irregular periods: cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, or periods that come at unpredictable times
  • Heavy bleeding: soaking a pad every one or two hours, passing large clots, or bleeding for more than 7 days
  • Painful periods: pain that stops you from going to school, college or work
  • Missed periods when you are not pregnant
  • Bleeding between periods or after intercourse
  • White discharge with itching, a bad smell or a change in colour

Common causes

Period problems often come from hormonal changes, thyroid problems, PCOS, stress or a sudden change in weight. Others are caused by fibroids or polyps in the womb, infections, or certain medicines. Finding the cause is the first step to the right treatment.

What happens at your visit

FAQ

Common questions

Are irregular periods normal in teenagers?

In the first one or two years after periods start, cycles are often irregular. See a doctor if periods stop for more than three months, come more often than every three weeks, or are very heavy or painful.

Is white discharge normal?

A small amount of clear or white discharge without smell is normal and changes during the cycle. See a doctor if there is itching, burning, a bad smell, or a yellow, green or grey colour.

Is period pain normal?

Mild cramps are common. Pain that stops your daily activities or gets worse over time should be checked, as it can have a treatable cause.
