What Are Some Common Conditions Associated with Menstrual Symptoms?
Several medical conditions can exacerbate menstrual symptoms, including:
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing severe pain and heavy periods. - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, acne, and excessive hair growth. - Uterine fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding and pain. - Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): A severe form of PMS that includes extreme mood shifts.
