Does taking nasal allergy medication affect menstruation?

Patient's question:

It's been over a month since my last menstrual period. Could it be affected by taking medication for rhinitis frequently? My breasts are very painful now.

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons that can cause menstrual disorders, such as endocrine dysfunction, gynecological inflammation, emotional fluctuations, or the influence of some medications. Additionally, factors like excessive mental stress can also contribute.
Suggested Actions:
First, try to rule out external factors affecting your menstrual cycle, and wait for a while to see if the condition improves. Pay close attention to rest and avoid overexertion. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to visit the hospital for an ultrasound and a check-up of the six sex hormones. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered.
