Irregular menstrual cycles, excessive bleeding, painful periods, and hormonal disturbances can significantly affect a woman's reproductive health and quality of life. Dr. Viji Praveen carefully evaluates the underlying cause through detailed clinical assessment, pelvic ultrasonography, and appropriate investigations before recommending personalised treatment. Management may include lifestyle modification, medical therapy, hormonal treatment, or further fertility evaluation when menstrual irregularities are associated with difficulty conceiving. Common conditions managed include PCOS, thyroid-related cycle disruption, hyperprolactinaemia, and hypothalamic amenorrhoea, each of which requires a different therapeutic approach.
