Patient's question:
Is it effective to get an anti-inflammatory shot during the menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
You can receive anti-inflammatory injections during your menstrual period, and this will have no effect on your period. You should avoid taking blood-activating medications during your period to prevent an increase in menstrual flow. A woman's menstrual cycle is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, changes in the environment, pregnancy, age, illness, medications, and nutritional status can all disrupt the function of this axis, leading to menstrual irregularities. A delay or advancement of about one week in the menstrual cycle is considered normal. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 10 days, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for appropriate examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
