Hi,
Irregular menstruation and severe abdominal cramps can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and more. The first step in managing these symptoms is to consult a gynecologist for an evaluation and diagnosis.
If hormonal imbalances are the cause, medication to regulate hormones may be prescribed. In the case of PCOS, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, exercise, and weight management can be helpful. Endometriosis and fibroids may require surgery to alleviate the symptoms.
To manage the severe abdominal cramps, pain relief medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed. Additionally, applying a heating pad or taking a warm bath can provide relief. Stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises, meditation, or yoga may also help.
If your daughter experiences dizziness or fainting spells, it is important to seek medical attention immediately as it may be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
