Does chemotherapy affect menstruation?

Chemotherapy is no longer unfamiliar to many people. It is one of the important ways to treat cancer. However, the body will experience many adverse reactions after chemotherapy. These are the result of stimulation from chemotherapy drugs, such as physical weakness, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, and low immunity. These reactions will cause endocrine system disorders, thereby affecting human metabolism and will also affect menstrual problems for female friends.

The side effects of chemotherapy on the body mainly include:

1. We all know that chemotherapy has a certain impact on human cells, and its effectiveness lies mainly in its ability to kill cancer cells. However, it is actually impossible to completely kill cancer cells while ensuring that healthy cells of the human body are not damaged. Therefore, chemotherapy causes great harm to the human body's blood cells. Therefore, while people are receiving chemotherapy, their blood cells will continue to decrease. Many patients currently cannot withstand this damage to their normal blood cells. Over time, people's physical fitness will deteriorate, leading to physical weakness and deteriorating body resistance.

2. Chemotherapy can continuously reduce the nutrients in the human body. When people receive chemotherapy for a long time, it will lead to insufficient nutrient supply in the body, which will cause chemotherapy to affect normal menstruation, hair loss, vomiting and other phenomena. In fact, these phenomena are the most common symptoms caused by chemotherapy, but long-term chemotherapy and malnutrition can even be life-threatening, causing the nutrients in the body to slowly decrease. When people's body functions cannot keep up with the nutrition, human health will continue to deteriorate, which seriously threatens people's life safety.

In fact, in addition to causing side effects such as hair loss, malnutrition, vomiting, and a continuous decrease in blood cells, chemotherapy can also cause symptoms of irregular menstruation. Because when people undergo chemotherapy, the chemical drugs used in the treatment will stimulate hormonal instability in the body, causing symptoms of irregular menstruation in women. Therefore, in order to better help people receive chemotherapy without affecting their health, care measures must be taken. Better adjust the body's condition in terms of diet and lifestyle to adapt to treatment, thereby completely defeating cancer and allowing chemotherapy to achieve better results.
