Will taking ceftriaxone affect menstruation?

Women will have many problems with their bodies during menstruation. Some women will catch colds and fevers due to physical weakness during menstruation. At this time, some people need to take some cephalosporins and other anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. Under normal circumstances, taking cephalosporins will not affect menstruation or cause delayed menstruation, but cephalosporins or certain drugs, diseases, etc. may cause menstrual disorders.

Question 1

Injection of cephalosporin antibiotics will not cause delayed menstruation. Mental stimulation, excessive tension, cold stimulation, environmental changes, malnutrition, etc. can all cause menstrual disorders. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by one week. However, if you have sex during this period without taking any contraceptive measures, there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to delay your period for a week and then take a pregnancy test to confirm the diagnosis.

Question 2

Causes of delayed menstruation

1. Pregnancy

For women of childbearing age who have sex, if their menstruation is delayed, they should generally consider whether it is caused by pregnancy. If the menstrual cycle is normal and it is suddenly delayed for a week, you should use a pregnancy test strip to test your urine. If the result is positive, you should cooperate with a gynecological pelvic examination. If the cervix changes to purple-blue, the uterus is full or enlarged, and there may be accompanying symptoms such as breast tenderness and nausea, pregnancy can be diagnosed.

2. Endocrine disorders

Endocrine reasons such as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation. Timely examination should be carried out and treatment should be started as soon as abnormalities are found.

3. Excessive weight loss

Women all want to have a good figure, so when controlling their weight they may take diet pills or use dieting methods to achieve their goals, but these practices may lead to delayed menstruation. If this situation is short-lived, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally, but for those who last longer, medication is often required to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

4. Chronic diseases

Some common chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, etc. often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies.

Five: Cervical adhesions

There is menstrual blood, but the menstrual blood cannot be discharged normally due to adhesion of the cervix and accumulates in the uterus. The patient will have periodic abdominal pain. B-ultrasound examination can show dark areas in the uterine cavity, and the patient often needs to go to the hospital for cervical dilation. If this situation is not improved in time, it will lead to endometriosis.
