It is that period of the month for which women understand us very well... Absence of the menstrual cycle or increased amount of bleeding, the factors that affect period disorders are numerous.
From stress to diet and birth control, how you live your life and what you put into your body can make a big difference in your cycle.
Often, we don't realize that everyday things like a headache medicine can affect periods.
Here are the six most common medications that can affect your menstrual cycle:
- Aspirin
"The blood-thinning properties of aspirin use make it less than ideal for menstrual cramps," explains Dr. Khaled Sadek for Cosmopolitan. "Unlike other anti-inflammatory pain medications, aspirin has blood-thinning properties that can lead to increased menstrual flow."
-Ibuprofen
"This drug is great for fighting severe pain and it specifically targets the receptors in the uterus for better pain control," says Dr. Sadek. But there is a danger! "One downside of long-term use is an increased risk of blood clots," he notes. The risk of blood clots can also be increased for other reasons, including being overweight or pregnant.
- Antidepressants
Ekspertët nuk kanë konstatuar një lidhje direkte midis kësaj kategorie ilaçet dhe ciklit, por disa rrëfime të grave që kanë ndarë përvojën e tyre me periodat gjatë marrjes së antidepresivëve, tregojnë se ka çrregullime reale.
-Antipsikotikët
“Antipsikotikët janë një grup medikamentesh të fuqishme, të cilat përdoren për trajtimin e çrregullimeve të rënda mendore si skizofrenia,” thotë Dr. Sadek. Mjeku thotë se ekziston rreziku i prishjes së ekuilibrit të ciklit menstrual gjatë marrjes së këtyre medikamenteve, madje shkon më tej duke shtuar edhe efektet anësore nga ato emocionale tek ndryshimet e temperaturës së trupit, problemet e lëkurës, shtimi në peshë, madje edhe problemet me mëlçinë.
-Ilaçet e kimioterapisë
If you are being treated for any type of cancer, you know that your body is going through some big changes. You will likely find that your usual period routine changes dramatically. This is because the ovaries are sensitive to chemotherapy. "Chemotherapy leads to a reduction in the number of eggs from the ovaries," says Dr. Sadek. "It causes missed periods and even early menopause."
- Contraceptive minipills
The birth control pill comes in two forms: the combined hormone and the progesterone "minipill." If you're using the minipill, you must take it at the same time every day, unlike some other 21-day combination pills. As a result, the most common complaints common are the absence of menstruation or bleeding in the middle of the cycle.
