Sudden hormonal changes can induce three distinct and common types of menstrual disorders in women; the first being known as the "cramps"-medical name dysmenorrhea, the second disorder is characterized by unusually heavy bleeding and by the prolonged nature of the periods-medical name menorrhagia, the third disorder is characterized by the presence of irregularly occurring or absent menstruation-medical name amenorrhea.

Hormonal changes are the primary reasons for the onset of these conditions. These changes often strike women during adolescence or in the years preceding menopause in older women-the disorders can also affect women at any time during their years of reproductive capability.
Hormone like compounds called prostaglandins are agents responsible for triggering menstrual cramps. These chemical substances are often released during the period of menstruation by the cells which lie in the lining of the uterus-also known as the endometrium or uterine lining.
Menorrhagia can be said to affect those women who suffer from easy bleeding and who may bleed so heavily as to necessitate a continuous change of a tampon or pad once every hour-women affected by menstrual periods lasting longer than seven days can also be classified as suffering from the disorder known as menorrhagia.
Heavy bleeding can also be sometimes caused by the presence of an abnormal growth in the uterus-a fibroid- however; the most typical causative agents of such bleeding are the presence of some hormonal or nutritional imbalances in the body of the woman. Adding to the problem is the fact that all the blood vessels lining the uterus are very weak and have a tendency to rupture very quickly.
Amenorrhea can also be brought on by the presence of such hormonal imbalances in the body; it can also be due to an extreme exercise regimen or a dietary routine lacking in essential nutrients.
