Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual syndrome is a collection of symptoms that occur one or two weeks before a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. Symptoms include acne, swollen or tender breasts, headaches and joint pain, and irritability and depression. About 2-5% of women have symptoms severe enough to interfere with daily life.

Prenatal Diagnosis/ Antenatal Counselling

Prenatal diagnosis uses techniques like ultrasonography, amniocentesis, and genetic testing to know about the potential problems an unborn child can have. Antenatal counseling helps parents know their options if a problem is diagnosed – from treatments the baby can receive in the womb itself, to choosing the place of delivery where the newborn will have the necessary care.

Primary Amenorrhea

Primary amenorrhea is a condition when a girl has not started menstruating by the time she is 16, even though other signs of puberty, like breast development and the appearance of pubic hair, are normal. Besides hormonal abnormalities and other illnesses, low body weight or obesity, stress and rigorous exercise can cause primary amenorrhea.
