Patient's question:
My girlfriend has recently felt unwell, so I took her to the hospital. The doctor said she has some gynecological inflammation and needs to receive intravenous fluids for a week, as well as oral medication. She is currently on her period and I don't know if the intravenous fluids and medication will affect her body.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hello, it is not advisable to take medication or receive injections during menstruation. Menstruation is a period of ovulation and recovery for women. During this time, except for specially prescribed menstrual medications, other drugs can disrupt the endocrine system or cause imbalances. Anti-inflammatory drugs cause multiple cell losses in women during menstruation, leading to reduced body antiviral capabilities and weakened immunity. They can also damage liver and kidney function. During menstruation, when there is blood loss, anti-inflammatory drugs themselves cause iron loss in the body. If medication is used during menstruation, it may increase the risk of women experiencing fainting or sudden death. It is recommended to take or inject medication after the menstrual period.
