Menstrual Problems

PMS and menstrual disorders encompass a wide variety of symptoms. PMS May include bloating, abdominal pain, headaches, mood swings, breast tenderness and much more. Menses may also be abnormal including irregular periods, migraine headaches, abnormally heavy flow, severe pain and more.

The usual treatment for menstrual disorders typically includes birth control pills. Unfortunately, while these pills may improve symptoms, they work by disturbing the normal balance of estrogen and progesterone and they can have some very serious side effects including blood clots and stroke. Other common treatments include antidepressant medications which also may have significant side effects and are sometimes difficult to get off of.

Dr. Doyle's approach is based first on the concept that PMS and most menstrual disorders are based on imbalances of estrogen and progesterone. So the first step is to identify the status of these and related hormones. When appropriate, these hormones may be prescribed to reestablish a healthy balance. There are also a variety of nutrients and herbs that can help reduce symptoms safely.
