Gynaecological problems

From before puberty to after menopause, a woman’s body is constantly changing and developing. Most women experience some unpleasant or uncomfortable symptoms during their menstrual cycle. They may be psychological or gastrointestinal symptoms. Amenorrhea, Dysmenorrhea  and Menorrhagia are the most common problems seen in women. Leucorrhea , uterine hemorrhage and other uterine disorders also are common.

Amenorrhoea (absence of  menstrual periods) can be of primary and secondary types. Primary amenorrhoea is a condition where menstruation cycles never begin. It may be caused by developmental problems such as the congenital absence of the uterus, failure of the ovary to receive or maintain egg cells, and genetic diseases such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency which causes one to be intersex. Also, delay in pubertal development will lead to primary amenorrhoea. Secondary amenorrhoea (menstruation cycles ceasing) is often caused by hormonal disturbances from the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, from premature menopause or intrauterine scar formation. It is identified by the absence of menses for three months in a woman.

Dysmenorrhea indicates excessively painful periods that interfere with daily activities. It is also used synonymously with menstrual cramps. Dysmenorrhea includes all types of pain ranging from sharp, throbbing, dull, nauseating, burning, or shooting pain. Dysmenorrhea may precede menstruation by several days or may accompany it, and it usually subsides as menstruation tapers off. Dysmenorrhea may coexist with excessively heavy blood loss (Menorrhagia). Secondary dysmenorrhea occurs with a disease, disorder, or structural abnormality either within or outside the uterus.

Menorrhagia or Hematomunia is an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. Menorrhagia can be caused by abnormal blood clotting, disruption of normal hormonal regulation of periods, or disorders of the endometrial lining of the uterus. Depending upon the cause, it may be associated with abnormally painful periods (dysmenorrhea).

Leucorrhoea is a medical term that denotes a thick, whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge. There are many causes of leucorrhoea, the usual one being estrogen imbalance. The amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infection or STDs, and also it may disappear and reappear from time to time, This discharge can keep occurring for years in which case it becomes more yellow and foul-smelling. It is usually a non-pathological symptom secondary to inflammatory conditions of vagina or cervix.
