What is Irregular Menstrual Cycle or Irregular Periods?
Menstrual Disorders encompass disruptive physical and emotional symptoms experienced before and during menstruation, such as heavy bleeding, missed periods, and intense mood swings. Some women navigate their monthly cycles with ease, experiencing minimal or no issues. Their periods are regular, starting and stopping at the same time each month, causing only minor inconveniences.
Keep in mind that a “normal” menstrual cycle varies for each woman. What is regular for you may be unusual for someone else. It’s crucial to stay tuned to your body and consult your doctor if you observe any significant changes in your menstrual cycle.
If your periods are challenging, consult our obgyn in Dubai. Once your symptoms are accurately diagnosed, she can help you select the most effective treatment to make your menstrual cycle more manageable.

Irregular Menstrual Treatment in Dubai
Menstrual disorders treatment in Dubai may include the following options:
Lifestyle Modifications
Maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet can greatly improve menstrual regularity. Reducing excessive stress, ensuring adequate sleep, and managing mental well-being are also essential, as stress and emotional imbalances can affect the menstrual cycle.
Medical Interventions
When lifestyle changes and alternative therapies do not fully address menstruation problems , medical interventions become necessary. Consulting a qualified gynaecologist in Dubai, like Dr Aparna Gumma, can aid in determining the most suitable treatment. Several medical options are available depending on the specific cause of the menstrual problems
Hormonal Medications
Oral contraceptives, which can be two or a single hormone can help regulate hormonal imbalances and promote regular menstruation. Additionally, progestogens, available in various forms such as tablets, injections, and intrauterine devices, can stabilize the endometrium and restore regular bleeding patterns.
Surgical Interventions
In some cases, structural issues or abnormalities may require surgical intervention. Procedures like hysteroscopy or laparoscopy can identify and correct conditions such as polyps, fibroids, or endometriosis, which may contribute to irregular menstruation. Surgical options should be considered in consultation with a specialist, especially when conservative measures have been ineffective.
