Can nurse practitioners help with menstrual disorders?
Yes, nurse practitioners with clinical skills and concern for emotional well-being can help women with premenstrual tension, painful periods, and missing periods through education, diagnosis, and management.

What it means for you
This suggests nurse practitioners could be a helpful resource for menstrual problems. This is a professional opinion piece rather than research data, so we don't know how much it actually helps or how it compares to other care options.
