Gynec Alert: Never Ignore These 8 Menstrual Problems!
Now comes the bad news. The part after which you should decide if you need to go to the doctor or not. Believe me when I say these cannot be ignored.
1. Absent Menstruation
If you miss two menstrual cycles or more, it’s likely that you have the following issues – thyroid problems, stress, excessive exercise, intense dieting, and/or hormonal imbalances.
In rare cases, a missed period leads to the growth of abnormal cells, which can lead to the condition preceding cancer.
If you go to a gynecologist, she will probably do some blood work to check on your hormones and thyroid. She will also check for the possibility of polycystic ovaries.
2. Abnormal Bleeding
If you are on the pill (birth control), bleeding abnormally between cycles is normal. But, even then, you must pay a visit to the doctor. You could have ovarian cysts or develop pre-cancer cells.
3. Unbearable PMS
If you notice yourself having erratic mood swings, anxiety, depression, food cravings, and/or extreme anger, you could be suffering from a premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). This is worse than the usual ‘premenstrual syndrome’, as we know it. These unpleasant symptoms can be dealt with antidepressants, but you HAVE to visit your doctor first.
4. Large Blood Clots
