MENSTRUAL DISORDERS IN ADOLESCENCE

Menstrual disorders are common during adolescence as the body adjusts to new hormonal changes. Irregular periods, painful periods (dysmenorrhoea), and heavy bleeding are all issues Dr Anisha frequently addresses in adolescent patients. She provides thorough diagnostic assessments to identify any underlying conditions, such as hormonal irregularities, endometriosis or adenomyosis, helping to alleviate symptoms and promote long-term health.

PRECOCIOUS OR DELAYED PUBERTY

Puberty is a critical time for physical and emotional development. Precocious puberty (early onset) and delayed puberty can cause concern for young individuals and their families. Our team is experienced in evaluating the causes of early or late puberty and providing appropriate treatment to help regulate hormonal development and support overall health.

MENSTRUAL PAIN & ENDOMETRIOSIS

For some adolescents, menstrual pain can be more than just a discomfort. Conditions like endometriosis or adenomyosis can cause significant pain and impact quality of life. Dr Anisha provides expert diagnosis and treatment, including medical management and, if necessary, laparoscopic surgery, to address these conditions and help patients regain their comfort and confidence.
