Understanding and Treating Irregular, Painful, or Heavy Periods with Dr. Vatsal Thakral (Gynaecologist in Gurgaon)

A healthy menstrual cycle is a vital sign of a woman’s overall health. While each woman’s period can differ in length, flow, and sensation, ongoing menstrual problems—such as excessive bleeding, irregular periods, or severe pain—should never be ignored.

Menstrual issues are more common than many realize, and they can significantly impact your daily life, fertility, and emotional well-being. Whether you're a teenager, in your reproductive years, or approaching menopause, Dr. Vatsal Thakral, a qualified and trusted gynaecologist with over 7 years of experience, offers expert care to diagnose and treat a wide range of menstrual disorders.

Common Menstrual Disorders Treated by Dr. Vatsal Thakral

Every woman’s cycle is unique, but certain patterns of discomfort or irregularity may point toward an underlying condition. Here are the most common menstrual issues that Dr. Thakral treats:

• Irregular Periods (Oligomenorrhea or Polymenorrhea)
  • Periods that come too early or too late
  • Gaps of more than 35 days between cycles
  • Missing periods for months at a time
  • Unpredictable cycle lengths
• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia)
  • Soaking through pads or tampons every 1-2 hours
  • Bleeding that lasts more than 7 days
  • Large clots or anemia due to blood loss
  • Fatigue, dizziness, or breathlessness during periods
• Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea)
  • Cramping that begins before or during menstruation
  • Pain spreading to the lower back or thighs
  • Nausea, vomiting, or lightheadedness due to pain
  • Disruption in daily activities or sleep
• Absent Periods (Amenorrhea)
  • No periods by age 15 (primary amenorrhea)
  • Missing three or more cycles after having normal periods (secondary amenorrhea)
• Spotting or Bleeding Between Periods
  • Light bleeding outside the regular cycle
  • Irregular spotting after physical activity or intercourse
  • Mid-cycle spotting that may indicate hormonal imbalances

These issues may be symptoms of deeper conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, endometriosis, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalance—all of which require professional evaluation.

When Should You Seek Medical Help?

It’s easy to dismiss menstrual issues as “normal,” but they don’t have to be your norm. You should consider visiting a gynaecologist if you experience:

• Periods that are consistently late, early, or absent
• Menstrual bleeding that affects your work, school, or sleep
• Intense cramps that do not improve with over-the-counter medicine
• Bleeding between cycles or after sex
• Difficulty conceiving
• Mood swings, fatigue, or acne related to your cycle
• Symptoms of PCOS, such as facial hair, weight gain, or irregular periods

Dr. Vatsal Thakral offers a calm, patient-first approach, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and clearly guided through every step.
