Menstrual Disorders
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, our Obstetrics & Gynecology department provides expert care for menstrual disorders that affect women’s reproductive health and daily life. Menstrual disorders include irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful cycles, or absence of menstruation. These conditions can be caused by hormonal imbalances, structural problems in the uterus, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, or underlying medical conditions. With advanced diagnostic tools and individualized treatment plans, we help women regain comfort, balance, and confidence in their health.
