Menstrual disorders refer to any abnormal changes in a woman's menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, or missed periods. These disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, uterine abnormalities, and certain medical conditions. Treatment for menstrual disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to discuss any concerns or unusual changes in your menstrual cycle with a healthcare provider, as they can help diagnose and treat any underlying problems.

Here are some common types of menstrual disorders:

• Irregular periods:This refers to periods that are too frequent, too infrequent, or too long.
• Heavy bleeding:This is when a woman has a heavy flow during her period, which can cause significant blood loss and interfere with daily activities.
