Menstrual Cycle Disorder: Detection and Diagnosis
A menstrual cycle disorder is any irregular or abnormal change in the length or frequency of periods, or problems such as excessive bleeding or the absence of periods (amenorrhoea). Cycle disorders can have various causes, such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovaries, stress, excessive exercise or even serious conditions of the reproductive system. Diagnosing and treating these disorders in time is vital for a woman’s health and fertility.
What does Menstrual Cycle Disorder Testing at Mikrolab include?
Testing for menstrual cycle disorders at Mikrolab includes:
- Blood tests to measure the levels of hormones such as FSH, LH, oestrogens, progesterone and prolactin, which regulate the cycle.
- Medical assessment and history, to evaluate any other factors affecting the cycle.
Why is it Important to Investigate a Menstrual Cycle Disorder?
A menstrual cycle disorder may point to serious underlying conditions, such as hormonal disorders, infertility or even cancer. Early diagnosis and investigation are therefore important for treating the condition effectively and avoiding possible health complications.
Preparing for the Test
Preparing for menstrual cycle testing involves avoiding medicines that may affect the results and, in some cases, having blood drawn on specific days of the cycle for more accurate results. It is important to consult your doctor for precise preparation instructions.
