Menstrual disorders

Periods that are unpredictable, very heavy or severely painful deserve an assessment. Causes include hormone imbalance, PCOS, fibroids and infection. Many are managed without surgery.

General information for patients at Sachi Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result. Reviewed by the Sachi Hospital medical team · September 2026.

Why people come in

  • Cycles that are very infrequent or too frequent
  • Flooding or clots
  • Pain that stops daily activity

Possible causes

Hormones, structural problems in the uterus and infection are the main groups. Pregnancy should be considered when a period is late.

How this is assessed

The doctor asks about the pattern, then decides if an examination, pregnancy test or ultrasound is needed.

Treatment options

  • Medical treatment for pain or bleeding
  • Treatment of PCOS or infection if found
  • A procedure only when medicines are not suitable or a structural cause needs it

Diagnosis and treatment depend on an individual consultation. A page cannot decide that you need a procedure.

When to seek urgent care

  • Soaking through pads hourly, or fainting with a period
