The health problems of adolescents are very special. Menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea, abnormal/
excessive uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome are particularly common in adolescent
girls. Although menstrual irregularities may be normal during the early postmenarchal years, pathological
conditions require proper and prompt management. This article reviews the topic: menstrual disorders and
discusses their etiologies, diagnosis and treatment modalities. It also reviews the normal and abnormal
menstrual cycles. The knowledge of the normal menstrual cycle is very important in managing these disorders
properly.
