Diagnosis of Menstrual Cycle Disorders in Israel
Since there are many possible causes of menstrual cycle disorders, diagnosis in Israel begins with taking a medical history. This involves gathering information about previously prescribed medications and existing external factors. Next, a physical examination of the patient is conducted, focusing on the condition of the skin, mucous membranes, size of internal organs, and more. The next step involves a gynecological examination – palpation of the cervix, assessment of discharge characteristics, etc. Laboratory tests are necessary to rule out various infections. During ultrasound examination, special attention is paid to the condition of the uterus and ovaries, thyroid gland, and liver. Hormonal level tests are also mandatory.
Treatment of Menstrual Cycle Disorders in Israel
Treatment in Israel begins with eliminating all possible external factors. Today, a very common cause of MCD is women's addiction to various weight loss methods. In this case, it is necessary to properly adjust the diet and limit excessive physical activity. In cases of severe bleeding, symptomatic treatment is prescribed. For this purpose, hemostatic drugs are administered. Compensation for blood loss may also be achieved through plasma or blood transfusion. Surgical treatment is rarely used, most often in cases where the cause of bleeding cannot be established. Restoration of the menstrual cycle may be possible with hormonal agents, with a preference for natural preparations.
