Does taking metformin delay menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does taking Metindol delay menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Methyldopa may cause menstrual delay. Additionally, factors such as cold exposure, mental stress, environmental changes, and endocrine disorders can also lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to check for pregnancy after a one-week delay in menstruation.
The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
