Patient's question:
I was supposed to have my period on the 20th, but it came two weeks earlier. Then, it came again in the last two days, but the amount wasn't much—just enough for a panty liner. It's been three days already. Usually, I get menstrual cramps and have to take pain relievers to get through them, but this time, there's no pain. On the 2nd, I had two wisdom teeth removed and took anti-inflammatory medication. Around the 20th, I probably caught a cold and took cold medicine. I don't know if it could have affected it. I had an ultrasound, and there was no problem. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It should be endocrine disorders, as everyone has a different constitution and reacts differently to medications. Generally, cold medications will never interfere with menstruation, but there may be cases where they could cause such interference. It is recommended that you take medication first to regulate your blood and then carefully observe the situation to see how your menstruation is affected afterward? For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
