Menstrual disorders – Treatment
Therapy program is prescribed by a doctor after the comprehensive diagnostics. There are several types of treatment that are possibly used depending on a pathological condition:
- Conservative therapy (antibiotics, hormonal medicines)
- Physical impact techniques, which are applied on the mucous membrane of the cervix in case of certain malformations (cryodestruction, laser therapy, methods of radiowave surgery)
- Hysteroresectoscopy (endoscopic surgical methods for the malformations removal from the uterus)
- Laparoscopic cauterization of the ovaries, which is used for polycystic ovary treatment
There is no single treatment program. Menstrual disorders include a wide group of symptoms evidencing various diseases. Besides, not all of them imply reproductive organs issues. These can be problems with the liver, thyroid gland, brain, haematopoietic system. Thus, therapy is selected based on the underlying disease.
If the only purpose of treatment is to get pregnant, a woman is prescribed a treatment for ovulation stimulation. It is possible to achieve conception within a few cycles. If conservative treatment of infertility doesn’t bring any effect, then in vitro fertilization is performed.
