Gynecological And Menstrual Disorders

Oligomenorrhea is a menstrual disorder characterised by infrequent or irregular periods, with intervals between periods typically exceeding 35 days. This condition affects many women of reproductive age and can be caused by various factors. This includes hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), eating disorders, or excessive exercise. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, medication, or hormone therapy.

Fibroids, or uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are composed of muscle and fibrous tissue and can vary significantly in size. Fibroids are very common, with a majority of women developing at least one fibroid by age 45.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition affecting many women, characterised by a range of physical, emotional, and behavioural symptoms that occur before menstruation. A severe form of PMS, known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), can significantly impact daily life. Treatment options for PMS and PMDD include lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication.

Anal pain is discomfort or pain in and around the anus or rectum, known as the perianal region. It is a common complaint with many possible causes, most of which are not serious. However, the pain itself can be severe due to the numerous nerve endings in the perianal area.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a more intense form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that impacts women who are of reproductive age. It is marked by intense emotional and physical symptoms that arise during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, significantly disrupting daily activities and relationships. Symptoms can include extreme mood swings, irritability, and physical discomfort, and they can severely impair a woman's ability to function normally during this time.
