Menstrual disorders can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life, affecting her physical and emotional well-being and her fertility. Dr. Ojha’s approach combines advanced diagnostic techniques, medical treatments, and lifestyle interventions to address these challenges effectively.

For patients experiencing irregular periods, the treatment starts with a detailed medical history and may include blood tests and ultrasounds to determine the cause, which could range from hormonal imbalances to more complex conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders. Treatment strategies may involve hormonal contraceptives, dietary modifications, or medication to regulate menstrual cycles.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern that Dr. Ojha addresses with a range of treatment options tailored to the severity and underlying cause. Depending on the patient’s condition and reproductive goals, she may recommend hormonal therapies, tranexamic acid, or minimally invasive procedures such as endometrial ablation to effectively manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Dr. Ojha also specializes in the comprehensive management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), taking a holistic approach that combines medical treatment, lifestyle modifications, and metabolic support. Her approach includes targeted therapies to address symptoms like hirsutism and acne, personalized diet and exercise plans to promote overall health, and, when necessary, insulin-sensitizing medications to manage metabolic concerns.
