Menstrual disorders are common in women.



Most women suffer from some discomfort or pain during their periods. This is generally worse at the beginning of a period, and gradually gets better over the next couple of days.



Other menstrual problems are far less common and include: absent periods or heavy periods.

Leucorrhoea is also commonly known as whites and refers to a whitish discharge from the genitals. It is an abnormal condition of the female reproductive organs, which if not treated properly and in the initial stages, could become chronic. In fact, recent investigations have proven that secretions from the uterus and the upper part of the vagina flow down and are reabsorbed in the lower part of the vagina.

Sterility in women may be the result of physical defects, physical debility or functional faults. Obesity or emaciation due either to dietetic errors or faulty metabolism is yet another factor that may contribute to female sterility. Then again, psychological factors like emotional stress, tension, mental depression, anxiety and fear could also be causes of psychosomatic sterility.
