Menstrual Disorders

At Dhondge Hospital, we understand that every woman’s menstrual cycle is unique — but when bleeding becomes too heavy, too painful, or irregular, it may signal an underlying health concern. Our experienced gynecologists, led by Dr. Meena Balaprasad Dhondge, provide advanced and compassionate care for all types of menstrual disorders.

We combine modern diagnostics with personalized treatment to restore hormonal balance, improve comfort, and protect long-term fertility.

🌸 What Are Menstrual Disorders?

Menstrual disorders refer to any problem related to a woman’s monthly periods — including timing, flow, or associated pain. These conditions can affect teenage girls, women in their reproductive years, and even those approaching menopause.

We believe in root-cause treatment, not just symptom relief.
