Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) & Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) are conditions that can significantly affect a woman's emotional and physical well-being in the days/weeks leading up to her period.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. The symptoms can range from none, to painful periods or fertility challenges. There is no easy way to diagnosis it without surgery, but requires personalized care to manage symptoms & improve quality of life.

Heavy or Painful Periods

Painful and heavy periods can significantly impact daily life and well-being. They may result from hormonal imbalances or conditions, such as fibroids or ovulatory dysfunction. Proper assessment and tailored treatments can help alleviate symptoms and improve menstrual health.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hormones

What are the symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, and how can it affect my health?
Hormonal imbalances can cause irregular periods, acne, fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, and more. They may also contribute to conditions like PCOS, PMS, and endometriosis. Hormonal changes that produce these symptoms can have a negative impact on your health and wellbeing.
How do I know if I have PCOS?
PCOS is typically diagnosed if you have two of the following: irregular or absent periods, high levels of androgens (male hormones) or symptoms of this such as acne or excess hair growth, or polycystic ovaries seen on an ultrasound. Blood tests and a medical history review are also important.
What causes painful or heavy periods, and when should I seek help?
Painful or heavy periods can be caused by hormonal changes, fibroids, adenomyosis, or other conditions. You should seek medical advice if your periods disrupt your daily life or worsen over time, cause iron deficiency, fainting or if cramps are not managed with simple anti-inflammatories.
What’s the difference between PMS and PMDD?
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) involves physical and emotional symptoms for a few days before your period. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of PMS with debilitating mood-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, and irritability, significantly impacting quality of life and often requiring medical intervention.
Can endometriosis be treated, and will it affect my fertility?
Treatments for endometriosis include medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Endometriosis can affect fertility, but many women with the condition successfully conceive with proper management and care.
