Menstrual disorders MENSTRUAL DISORDERS Outlines 1. Definition of menstrual disorders. 2. Classification of menstrual disorders. o Amenorrhea. o Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). o Dysfunction uterine bleeding. The patterns of abnormal uterine bleeding may be in the form of menorrhagia, hypomenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or Polymenorrhea. Objectives At the end of this lecture you will be able to: o Understand the definition of menstrual disorder. o Identify and understand all about the Classifications of menstrual disorders. Menstrual disorders MENSTRUAL DISORDERS Definition of menstrual disorders Menstrual disorder is a physical or emotional problem that interferes with the normal menstrual cycle, causing pain, unusually heavy or light bleeding, delayed menarche, or missed periods. Deciphering Medical Terms for Menstrual Disorders Term Description Amenorrhea No periods Dysmenorrhea Painful periods Hypomenorrhea Regular menstruation occurring at normal intervals, but with minimal blood loss. Menorrhagia, or Regular menstruation occurring at normal hypermenorrhea intervals, but with heavy blood loss. Menometrorrhagia Prolonged bleeding that occurs at irregular intervals Menometrorrhagia (meno = prolonged, metro = short, rrhagia = excessive flow/discharge). Metrorrhagia Bleeding that occurs at frequent, irregular intervals(spotting) Oligomenorrhea Abnormal prolongation of the intermenstrual period, every five weeks or more. Polymenorrhea Regular menstruation, which is normal in amount but it, occurs at short intervals, three weeks or less. Postmenopausal Bleeding that occurs after menopause. bleeding Menstrual disorders Premenstrual Physical and psychological symptoms that syndrome (PMS) occur before the start of a period. Primary No periods ever starting (at puberty). amenorrhea Secondary Periods that has stopped. amenorrhea Classification of menstrual disorders 1. Amenorrhea. 2. Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). 3. Dysfunction uterine bleeding. The patterns of abnormal uterine bleeding may be in the form of menorrhagia, hypomenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or Polymenorrhea. Amenorrhea Some women do not have heavy menstrual bleeding, but they have the opposite problem no menstrual periods at all. This condition is called amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation. There are two classification of amenorrhea according to the onset which divided into primary and secondary, and according to the causes which divided into physiological and pathological. (Coco, 1999) Menstrual disorders Classification according to the onset 1. Primary amenorrhea is diagnosed if the girl turns 16 yrs and hasn’t menstruated. It’s usually caused by some problem in the endocrine system which regulates the hormones. Sometimes these results from low body weight associated with eating disorders, excessive exercise or medications. This medical condition can be caused by a number of other things, such as a problem with the ovaries or the hypothalamus or genetic abnormalities. Menstrual period should being within 2 years of breast development, usually between ages 10 to 16 yrs. Menstrual disorders 2. Secondary amenorrhea is diagnosed if the woman had regular periods, but they suddenly stop for three months or longer. It can be caused by problems that affect estrogen levels including stress, weight loss, exercise or illness. Additionally, problems affecting the pituitary gland =such as elevated levels of the hormone prolactin= or thyroid including hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism= may cause secondary amenorrhea. This condition can also occur if there is an ovarian cyst. Classification according to the cause 1. Physiological amenorrhea: Normal or "Physiological" amenorrhea that is occurs before puberty, during childbearing as pregnancy & lactation, and after menopause. 2. Pathological amenorrhea which divided into: 1. False amenorrhea (cryptomenorrhea). Definition Menstruation occurs but blood escape is prevented due to obstruction (hidden menstruation). Etiology Congenital (absent vagina, transverse vaginal septum, imperforated hymen & non communicating horn of uterus). Menstrual disorders Ustrations of Hymen Types Acquired (cervical cautery, amputation and conization & suturing anterior wall to posterior wall during C.S). Pathology Menstrual blood retained above the level of obstruction leading to haematocolpos (blood retained in the vagina), hematomata (bleeding of or near the uterus it can be caused by a proximal transverse vaginal septum), haematosalpinx ( bleeding into the fallopian tubes), & haemoperitoneum (the presence of blood in the peritoneal cavity. the blood accumulates in the space between the inner lining of the abdominal wall and the internal abdominal organs. (http//content.nejm.org/content/vol351/issue7/images/large/15f1.jpeg) Menstrual disorders Hematometrocolpos Due to Imperforate Hymen in a Patient with Bicornuate Uterus Signs and Symptoms Amenorrhea, Lower abdominal cyclic pain (repeated every month) Pelviabdominal swelling, distended vagina with blood leads to compression on urethra, stretching retention of urine & difficulty in micturation. Signs of cryptomenorrhea 1. General examination: All secondary sexual characteristics are developed. 2. Abdominal examination: dull cystic pelviabdominal mass (haematocolpos). 3. Vaginal examination: Bulging bluish di s t end e d hymen indicates imperforated hymen. 4. Per rectum examination (PIR): cystic swelling felt in front rectum. 5. Investigation by ultrasonography cystic pelviabdominal mass. Menstrual disorders Treatment: 1. Active treatment depends on the site of obstruction. 2. Circulate incision for imperforated hymen. 3. Excision for transverse vaginal septum. 2. True amenorrhea Etiology: 1. General causes as: o Endocrinal causes as (hypo and hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled D.M and adrenal gland disorder). o Non-endocrinal causes as (Debilitating disease as T.B. malignancy & liver failure, obesity, under weight and severe anemia). 2. Specific causes as: 1. CNS and Hypothalamic amenorrhea: Etiology: o Organic lesions, traumatic, inflammatory as meningitis and encephalitis or neoplasm. o Psychological disturbance as pseudocyesis (false pregnancy), anorexia nervosa depression, and prolonged vigorous exercise. o Prolactin drugs as (Estrogens). Menstrual disorders 2. Pituitary amenorrhea 1. Trauma as surgical trauma. 2. Inflammation (T.B or syphilis). 3. Vascular (radiation). 4. Tumors as prolactin secreting pituitary tumors (proloctinoma) it is the commonest cause of pituitary amenorrhea. 5. Sheehan’s syndromes: - is a condition affecting women who experience life-threatening blood loss during or after childbirth. Severe blood loss deprives the body of oxygen and can seriously damage vital tissues and organs. In Sheehan's syndrome the damage occurs to the pituitary gland. The result is the permanent underproduction of essential pituitary hormones (hypopituitarism) also called postpartum hypopituitarism. 3. Adrenal causes of amenorrhea: 1. Cushing syndrome. o Cushing’s syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the body’s tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. 2. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia. o It is a family genetic condition affecting the adrenal glands. It can interfere with normal growth and development in children including normal development of the genitals. It affects both males and females. Menstrual disorders o Congenital adrenal hyperplasia may also result in the adrenals making abnormal levels of two other classes of hormones mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and androgens (testosterone). Although congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be life- threatening most people with it can lead normal lives with proper treatment. 4. Ovarian amenorrhea 1. Congenital gonadal agenesis also called ovarian agenesis, gonadal dysgenesis, gonadal aplasia, or Turner's syndrome it is a rare inherited chromosomal disorder of females characterized by short stature and absence of sexual development at puberty. Other physical features may include a webbed neck, heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and various other malformations such as coarctation of the aorta, and abnormalities of the eyes and bones. 2. Traumatic (surgical removal). 3. Vascular (post irradiation) and neoplastic. 5. Uterine amenorrhea 1. Congenital: as Müllerian agenesis & hypoplasia. The müllerian ducts are the primordial anlage of the female reproductive tract. They differentiate to form the fallopian tubes, uterus, the uterine cervix, and the superior aspect of the vagina. A wide variety of malformations can occur when this system is disrupted. They range from uterine and vaginal agenesis to duplication of the uterus and vagina to minor uterine cavity abnormalities. Müllerian malformations are Menstrual disorders frequently associated with abnormalities of the renal and axial skeletal systems and they are often the first encountered when patients are initially examined for associated conditions. 2. Traumatic: as surgical removal or traumatic Asherman also called "uterine synechiae" or intrauterine adhesions (IUA) it characterized by the presence of adhesions and/or fibrosis within the uterine cavity due to scars. 3. Inflammatory: as T.B Endometritis or inflammatory Asherman. 4. Vascular: as post irradiation. 6. Chromosomal causes 1. The super female or triple x syndrome: -The super female or triple x syndrome is a form of chromosomal variation characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in each cell of a human female. 2.

    Prevalence of Menstrual Irregularities in Correlation with Body Fat Among Students of Selected Colleges in a District of Tamil Nadu, India

    National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology RESEARCH ARTICLE Prevalence of menstrual irregularities in correlation with body fat among students of selected colleges in a district of Tamil Nadu, India Sherly Deborah G1, Siva Priya D V2, Rama Swamy C2 1Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, AIMST University, Bedong, Kedah, Malaysia, 2Department of Physiology, Saveetha Medical College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Correspondence to: Sherly Deborah G, E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 05, 2017; Accepted: March 22, 2017 ABSTRACT Background: Menstrual irregularities are usually due to imbalance of hormones. Although menstrual irregularities may be normal during the early postmenarchal years, pathological conditions require proper and prompt management. Obesity associated with many health consequences including hormonal imbalance has a direct effect on menstrual cycle. Hence, attention to obesity is obligatory for the inclusion of diagnosis and treatment of menstrual complaints which has become a leading issue in women’s life. Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to assess the menstrual irregularities and to find the association between menstrual irregularities and body fat among students. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three selected colleges in a district of Tamil Nadu in India. A total of 399 samples were included in the study. A 10-item questionnaire was administered to assess the menstrual irregularity in each student. The demographic variables along with anthropometric measurements were collected. Anthropometric measurements were taken to calculate the body fat percentage using modified YMCA formula. Results: The prevalence of menstrual irregularities was high in obesity compared with those with normal body fat and particularly oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, and hypomenorrhea had statistically significant increase in obese students.

    (IJCRI) Abdominal Menstruation

    www.edoriumjournals.com CASE SERIES PEER REVIEWED | OPEN ACCESS Abdominal menstruation: A dilemma for the gynecologist Seema Singhal, Sunesh Kumar, Yamini Kansal, Deepika Gupta, Mohit Joshi ABSTRACT Introduction: Menstrual fistulae are rare. They have been reported after pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic radiation therapy, trauma, pelvic surgery, endometriosis, tuberculosis, gossypiboma, Crohn’s disease, sepsis, migration of intrauterine contraceptive device and other pelvic pathologies. We report two rare cases of menstrual fistula. Case Series: Case 1: A 27- year-old nulliparous female presented with complaint of cyclical bleeding from the abdomen since three years. There was previous history of hypomenorrhea and cyclical abdominal pain since menarche. There is history of laparotomy five years back and laparoscopy four years back in view of pelvic mass. Soon after she began to have blood mixed discharge from scar site which coincided with her menstruation. She was diagnosed to have a vertical fusion defect with communicating left hypoplastic horn and non-communicating right horn on imaging. Laparotomy with excision of fistula and removal of right hematosalpinx was done. Case 2: 25-year-old female presented with history of lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) and burst abdomen, underwent laparotomy and loop ileostomy. Thereafter patient developed cyclical bleeding from scar site. Laparotomy with excision of fistulous tract and closure of uterine rent was done. Conclusion: Clinical suspicion and imaging help to clinch the diagnosis. There is no recommended treatment modality. Surgery is the mainstay of management. Complete excision of fistulous tract is mandatory for good long-term outcomes.

The most common of the Müllerian anomalies affect the uterus and may adversely impact reproductive outcomes highlighting the importance of gaining understanding of the genetic mechanisms that govern normal and abnormal development of the female reproductive tract. Modern molecular genetics with study of knock out animal models as well as several genetic syndromes featuring abnormalities of the female reproductive tract have identified candidate genes significant to this developmental pathway. Further emphasizing the importance of understanding female reproductive tract development, recent evidence has demonstrated expression of embryologically significant genes in the endometrium of adult mice and humans. This recent work suggests that these genes not only play a role in the proper structural development of the female reproductive tract but also may persist in adults to regulate proper function of the endometrium of the uterus.

BMC Women's Health (2019) 19:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12905-019-0726-1 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Heavy menstrual bleeding among women aged 18–50 years living in Beijing, China: prevalence, risk factors, and impact on daily life Chengyi Ding1†, Jing Wang2†, Yu Cao3, Yuting Pan3, Xueqin Lu3, Weiwei Wang4, Lin Zhuo3, Qinjie Tian5 and Siyan Zhan3* Abstract Background: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) has been shown to have a profound negative impact on women’s quality of life and lead to increases in health care costs; however, data on HMB among Chinese population is still rather limited. The present study therefore aimed to determine the current prevalence and risk factors of subjectively experienced HMB in a community sample of Chinese reproductive-age women, and to evaluate its effect on daily life. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey in 2356 women aged 18–50 years living in Beijing, China, from October 2014–July 2015. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors for HMB. Results: Overall, 429 women experienced HMB, giving a prevalence of 18.2%. Risk factors associated with HMB included uterine fibroids (adjusted odds ratio [OR] =2.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.42–3.16, P <0.001)and multiple abortions (≥3) (adjusted OR = 3.44, 95% CI = 1.82–6.49, P < 0.001). Moreover, women in the younger age groups (≤24 and 25–29 years) showed higher risks for HMB, and those who drink regularly were more likely to report heavy periods compared with never drinkers (adjusted OR = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.20–6.46, P = 0.017).

    The Impact of Menstrual Disorder Towards Female University Students

    Athens Journal of Health & Medical Sciences - Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2021 – Pages 119-134 The Impact of Menstrual Disorder Towards Female University Students By Azlan Ahmad Kamal*, Zarizi Ab Rahman± & Heldora Thomas‡ The purpose of this study is to study whether the menstrual disorder have impact on quality of life among female students which focus on physical and health education students from semester 1 until semester 8 in Uitm Puncak Alam, Selangor. The study was conducted to clarify the types of menstrual disorder among female students. The study also was aimed to identify the symptoms of menstrual disorder experience among female students before and during their menstruation and to determine the effect of menstrual disorder among female students towards their quality of life. Data from 74 respondents were used for the statistical analysis. The data were collected by using non purposive sampling. Questionnaires were used to obtain data for this study and the data for this study were analysed by using Microsoft Excel Software. Results showed that, menstrual disorder give impacts towards female quality of life. Future research should emphasize on other scope of study and more research about menstrual disorder may help organization to increase their performance and knowledge about female and their menstruation. Keywords: menstrual disorder, female students and effects, quality of life Introduction The history reported contains a wide range of reproductive and menstrual myths in women. In ancient times, menstruating women are generally thought to have an evil spirit. Aristotle, which is the Greek philosopher, Plato student, he said that "menstrual women could dull a mirror with a glance, and that they would be enchanted by the next person to peer into it" (Fritz and Speroff 2011).
