Menstrual health, as a component of reproductive health - a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of diseases, is an integral part of improving the health of women around the world, achieving the goals of sustainable development of society and realizing gender equality and human rights.
Aim of the study is to analyze data on the problem of menstrual cycle disorders in women of reproductive age, modern classifications of menstrual cycle disorders, and also to propose an option for correcting these disorders.
Preserving menstrual health is inextricably linked to the possibility of access to appropriate medical services and resources, including timely diagnosis of menstrual cycle disorders, their treatment and prevention. The article presents modern data on the nomenclature, definition of the norm and pathology of the menstrual cycle, classification systems of its violations. The expediency and application of the complex herbal preparation Normomens® is a highly effective alternative therapy for menstrual cycle disorders, PMS symptoms, dysmenorrhea, fibrocystic disease of the mammary glands, infertility and hyperproliferative processes of the pelvic organs in women of reproductive age.
