Introduction: Women’s sex hormone synthesis and metabolic balance are closely related to the menstrual cycle. Therefore, sex hormone drugs should not be used during menstruation to avoid menstrual disorders. So what specific types of drugs should women not take during menstruation? Let’s learn more about it!
Drugs that women should not take during menstruation Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis This type of drug not only has anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects, but also can dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood flow, thus causing excessive menstrual flow. Hemostatic drugs Hemostatic drugs such as anloxin and vitamin K can reduce the permeability of capillaries and cause capillary contraction, which can cause menstrual blood flow problems after use. In addition, Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine with strong hemostatic effect should be used with caution. Hormonal drugs The synthesis and metabolic balance of human hormones is also related to women's menstrual cycle. Therefore, hormonal drugs should not be used during menstruation to avoid loss of balance. For example, androgens can cause menstrual disorders and inhibit ovulation; progesterone can cause breast tenderness or irregular vaginal bleeding; oral contraceptives can cause breast tenderness or breakthrough bleeding; and corticosteroids can cause amenorrhea or abdominal distension. Topical medications for gynecological infectious diseases For the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis or fungal infections, washes, vaginal tablets, pills, suppositories, capsules, commonly used ones such as nystatin metronidazole, and external preparations made from traditional Chinese medicine (such as Cnidium monnieri) should be suspended. Because the uterine mucosa becomes congested and the cervix opens during menstruation, it is easy to be infected by bacteria. Anticoagulants
Anticoagulants can cause menorrhagia or even heavy bleeding and should be avoided during menstruation, such as coumarin, heparin, thrombolytics, etc. laxative Laxatives such as magnesium sulfate and sodium sulfate have a strong laxative effect and can cause reflex pelvic congestion, so they should be prohibited during menstruation; other gastrointestinal motility drugs should also be used with caution or avoided. Sex hormone drugs Women's sex hormone synthesis and metabolic balance are closely related to the menstrual cycle. Therefore, sex hormone drugs should not be used during menstruation to avoid menstrual disorders. For example, androgens can cause decreased menstruation, amenorrhea, irregular cycles, etc., while progesterone can cause breast tenderness or irregular vaginal bleeding. Thyroxine preparations Thyroxine preparations may cause menstrual disorders and should not be taken during menstruation. Weight loss pills Most diet pills contain ingredients that suppress appetite. If used during menstruation, they may cause menstrual disorders, polyuria or difficulty urinating, or palpitations, anxiety, and even amenorrhea. |
