Menstrual problems

Women vary enormously in their experience of the menstrual cycle. Not only in the frequency, length, pain and amount of bleeding but also in other cyclical symptoms eg. headaches, bloating, mood disturbance, and breast symptoms.

In some cases, these are variations of normal, but you may need further tests to exclude pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome or fibroids. It may be possible for you to be treated here, inhouse at Gynaecare's Artarmon (Sydney lower north shore) clinic with medication, or an IUS, or if necessary we may refer you on to an appropriate specialist for continuing follow up.
