It’s important for individuals experiencing menstrual disorders to seek medical attention. A healthcare provider, often a gynecologist, can conduct a thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, to determine the underlying cause of the menstrual disorder. Treatment options may include medications, hormonal therapy, lifestyle changes, or, in some cases, surgical intervention. Prompt and appropriate management can help improve the quality of life for individuals with menstrual disorders.
