Patient's question:
Left leg knee ligament injury, had several cortisone injections, and recently menstrual cycle has been irregular with heavy flow for a month. Could it be caused by the cortisone injections?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best to avoid using medications during the menstrual period. It is recommended to inject them before the onset of menstruation. Closed needles are a combination of hormone drugs and anesthetics. Long-term and excessive use can affect the secretion of endocrine hormones, leading to menstrual disorders. It can also cause systemic osteoporosis and kidney damage.It is advised to rest, keep warm, and maintain a light diet during the menstrual period. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods, as well as blood-activating and blood-stasis medications. Keep the external genital area clean and hygienic, maintain a good mood, and use medications cautiously.
If there is a continuous delay in menstruation, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination to determine the specific condition. Additionally, treatment will be required at that time.
