Diagnostic tests for Menstrual irregularities:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Menstrual irregularities. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Examine for signs of bleeding disorder - e.g. widespread bruising, swollen joints, bleeding gums.
    • Speculum examination looking for cervicitis, cervical "erosion", cervical cancer, cervical polyps
    • Bimanual pelvic examination to feel for signs of fibroids, pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy
  • Blood tests
    • Full blood count (looking for anemia due to blood loss and reduced platelets indicating a bleeding disorder)
    • Iron studies
  • more tests...»

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Menstrual irregularities. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had menstrual irregularities?
  • Age of menarche (when first got menstrual period)?
  • Duration of the menstrual period? - i.e. how many days do you bleed for?
  • Is the menstrual interval regular? - i.e. from Day 1 of menstruation to the onset of the next period. "Metrorrhagia" is menstrual bleeding that is irregular in quantity, acyclical in nature and often prolonged in nature. The condition is usually due to a pathological condition in the uterus or other internal genital organs. It's presence demands that the doctor investigate further.
  • What is the interval of your menstrual cycle? - i.e. from day 1 of menstruation to the onset of the next menstrual period. Average interval is 28 days.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Menstrual irregularities) may include:

  • Heavy periods, and if so how many pads or tampons would you use per day whilst bleeding, and how saturated are they? Do you get clots, if yes how big would the clots be? - e.g. size of little finger nail, thumb nail, 20 cent coin, 50 cent coin, apricot. Do you get "flooding" i.e. gushing of blood from the vagina when you stand up? See also heavy_periods.
  • Dysmenorrhea (pain with menstruation)? - should consider pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy. See also menstrual_cramps or dysmenorrhea.
  • Inter-menstrual bleeding i.e. spotting between your menstrual periods? - usually indicate cervical "erosion", cervical polyp, presence of an IUCD and the oral contraceptive pill. Cervical cancer and intrauterine cancer must however be ruled out. See also bleeding_between_periods.
  • Bleeding after intercourse? - i.e. post-coital bleeding? - usually indicate cervical "erosion", cervical polyp, presence of an IUCD and the oral contraceptive pill. Cervical cancer and intrauterine cancer must however be ruled out. See also bleeding_after_sex.
  • Dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), if so is the discomfort superficial within the vagina or deep within the pelvis? - if pain is deep may suggest endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease.
