MENSTRUAL PROBLEM

Overview

Approximately 90% of women of reproductive age experience menstrual problems, yet many do not seek professional help or receive an accurate diagnosis. Having menstrual problems means experiencing symptoms before, during, or after your period that can significantly affect your quality of life. These symptoms can impact both your professional and personal life profoundly.

Every year, countless adults struggle with the effects of undiagnosed menstrual problems. Studies have shown that individuals with menstrual problems often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, resulting in feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
