Menstrual Problems
What are Menstrual Problems?
The menstrual cycle refers to the regular changes in the ovaries’ activity & The endometrium that make reproduction possible. The menstrual cycle usually lasts about 28 days; During this period, Women undergo drastic hormonal fluctuations as well as physical discomforts such as abdominal cramps, headaches, etc. An entire menstrual cycle usually lasts between 24 & 38 days, but the length may vary from cycle to cycle, & may also change over the years. Cycle length changes between menarche & menopause.
What are the phases of the menstrual cycle?
- The first stage of the menstruation cycle occurs if the egg has not been fertilized, this lasts between three to seven days and is more commonly known as a period because the egg has not been fertilized. The uterus lining called the endometrium is not needed, and hence it breaks down and is lost through the vaginal canal with some blood.
- The next stage is known as ovulation and is when the woman is most fertile after menstruation. The lining of the uterus thickens up again in preparation for a fertilized egg, and inside the ovary, the follicle develops at about 14 days.
The menstrual cycle consists of two interconnected and synchronized processes. The ovarian cycle centers on the development of the ovarian follicles and ovulation and the uterine or endometrial cycle, which centers on the way in which the functional endometrium thickens and sheds in response to ovarian activity.
Most Common Menstrual Problem
Menstrual disorders can be broadly divided into those where there is heavy or more frequent bleeding and those where there is less heavy or less and infrequent bleeding. With heavy bleeding or more frequent bleeding, the most typical cause is generally structural, mostly in the womb. It could be a fibroid, which is a localized swelling of the muscles of the womb. If that fibroid pushes into the cavity of the womb, then that can cause irregular as well as heavy bleeding.
Less frequent or less heavy bleeding can also be a sign of an underlying disorder, most commonly a hormonal disorder. This naturally happens when there is polycystic ovarian syndrome. This is primarily a disease that is related to diabetes and insulin resistance. And therefore, it worsens with weight gain. The ovaries and the endometrium each undergo their own set of changes, which are separate but related to each other.

The best doctor for endometriosis in India and Mumbai.
We came from Karnataka to Mumbai to do surgery. He is such a famous surgeon and a doctor. Extremely impressed with your humble behavior.
My wife had bowel endometriosis. There is one thing that I wish to mention. He is a very straightforward doctor. He answers everything, but he doesn't take over the smart nonsense of the patient.
Don't go by his simplicity, he will make such strong punchlines that your ego will come down to earth. He asked me to be a MAN. I will never forget that motivation

I was suffering from severe endometriosis since years. We have had previous 3 surgeries. The pain was excruciating.
Finally we were told about Dr Jay Mehta by our doctor. My surgery was a big one. It involved bowel resection for endometriosis.
Dr Jay had assured me that I will up and bout in the next day of surgery and here I am. Going home. Pain free. This is one person who is GOD for me. I don't know how best to thank him. Thanks a lot. You are by far the best doctor for Endometriosis Treatment in Mumbai, I have met in my life.
Thoroughly impressed by your direct and honest approach.
Nausheen Khan
The best doctor in India for Endometriosis. I am actually honored to be treated by Jay sir.
I had come to him 3 years ago when he told me about surgery, but I got misguided by many other doctors and I took a leupride of 11 injections. Unhappy with the result and pain, I come back to Jay Mehta sir.
He scolded me but then operated on me too. I thank you him, for being so an honest and genuine doctor.
The KING of Endometriosis as he is rightly called, considers my finances and operates me in charity surgery. My family bless you always
