Menstrual complaints
Menstruation is often accompanied by various complaints. Some women have little to no complaints during their menstruation, while other women suffer a lot from their menstrual complaints. Women often think that they have to accept the complaints and that there is nothing they can do about it. At Women's Healthcare Center Amsterdam we can help you and we take your menstrual complaints very seriously.
