Should I Consider Supplements for Irregular Periods & Symptoms?
Patient's Query
My mother, who is 45 years old, has been experiencing irregular periods. She hasn’t had her period for the last 6 to 7 months and then suddenly had very heavy bleeding for 2 days, which stopped afterward. This has happened several times. Some doctors have suggested she might need a hysterectomy, while others disagree. She has also had a D&C (dilation and curettage) in the past. Recently, she’s been experiencing burning sensations in her feet and sometimes in different parts of her body, including a part of her head. She is also suffering from extreme hair loss. She has started taking Ensure powder, but I’m wondering if she should consider any specific multivitamins or supplements to help with her symptoms.
Answered by Dr. Komal Bansal
Irregular menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, burning sensations, and hair loss manifestations can have many causes such as hormonal fluctuations, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical problems. A hysterectomy is one possibility, but other treatments could be considered in case of the particular diagnosis. The basic measure she should be concerned with is a balanced and nutritious diet which would be to take a multivitamin with iron and B vitamins into consideration that they might help. Anyway, it is essential first and foremost that she should have a conversation with a gynecologist who can lay out a treatment plan that is customized only to her after a thorough evaluation.
