Pre-Menstrual Problems/ Counselling
Pre-Menstrual Problems/ Counselling
At City Care Hospital’s Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, our Clinic for Pre-Menstrual Problems/Counselling is dedicated to helping women manage and understand the range of symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and other premenstrual disorders. Many women experience physical and emotional symptoms before their menstrual period, which can significantly impact their daily lives. Our clinic offers comprehensive care, education, and counseling to address these issues and improve overall well-being.
Our Services
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At our clinic, we begin with a detailed evaluation of each patient’s symptoms and medical history. This assessment helps us understand the severity of the premenstrual problems and identify any underlying health conditions that may be contributing to the symptoms. We also encourage patients to keep track of their symptoms over several menstrual cycles to provide us with a clearer picture of their experience.Symptom Management:
Managing premenstrual symptoms often requires a multifaceted approach. Based on the evaluation, we offer a range of treatments to help alleviate both physical and emotional symptoms. This may include lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, stress management techniques, and exercise routines designed to promote hormonal balance.Medical Treatments:
For women with moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms, medical interventions may be necessary. Our clinic provides a variety of treatment options, including:
- Hormonal treatments (e.g., birth control pills or hormone therapy) to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce symptoms.
- Antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which can be effective for treating mood-related symptoms of PMS and PMDD.
- Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) to reduce physical discomfort such as cramps, headaches, and breast tenderness.
- Diuretics for managing bloating and water retention.
Emotional and Psychological Support:
Premenstrual symptoms can have a significant emotional and psychological impact, often leading to anxiety, irritability, and even depression. Our clinic offers counseling and emotional support for women experiencing these symptoms. We provide individual counseling sessions to help women manage stress, cope with mood swings, and develop coping strategies. For women with PMDD or more severe emotional symptoms, we may recommend specialized therapy or psychiatric care to ensure they receive the best possible support.Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling:
Many women find that certain lifestyle changes can help reduce premenstrual symptoms. Our clinic offers personalized advice on dietary changes, exercise routines, and stress management techniques. We provide guidance on the following:
- Nutrition: Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help balance hormones and reduce bloating and cravings. We may also recommend reducing salt, sugar, and caffeine intake to help manage symptoms.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity can improve mood, reduce stress, and alleviate physical symptoms such as bloating and fatigue. Our team provides exercise recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs and fitness level.
- Stress Management: Techniques such as mindfulness, yoga, and relaxation exercises can help women cope with the emotional aspects of PMS and reduce stress-induced symptoms.
Education and Counseling for Adolescents:
Premenstrual symptoms often begin during adolescence, and it can be overwhelming for young girls to navigate these changes. Our clinic provides age-appropriate education and counseling for adolescents to help them understand their menstrual cycle, recognize premenstrual symptoms, and learn how to manage them effectively. We create a supportive environment where young women can ask questions and receive guidance on their reproductive health.Ongoing Monitoring and Support:
Premenstrual symptoms can change over time, and our clinic provides ongoing care to ensure that women continue to receive the support they need. We offer regular follow-up appointments to assess the effectiveness of treatments and make adjustments as necessary. Our team is always available to address any concerns and provide advice on symptom management.
While PMS is common, some women may experience a more severe form known as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), which can lead to debilitating mood changes and physical discomfort. These conditions can interfere with work, school, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Our Clinic for Pre-Menstrual Problems/Counselling aims to provide women with the tools and support they need to manage these symptoms and regain control of their health.
