This obstacle is menstrual bleeding\u2026 It is possible to postpone menstrual bleeding, which is an obstacle for you to enjoy a comfortable summer vacation or honeymoon, with medications. However, these pills, which are called menstrual delaying drugs, have some side effects. It would be useful to read our article, which provides information about the side effects, before deciding to use menstrual delaying drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-agwnw4042\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-risks-of-period-delaying-medications-2\"><\/span>What are the risks of period delaying medications?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Menstruation is a natural cycle that occurs when the endometrium tissue in the uterus in women is shed and renewed every month in the form of bleeding. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serkanoral.com\/en\/what-is-menstrual-bleeding-and-how-does-it-occur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Menstruation<\/a><\/strong> occurs once a month, except for exceptional cases, starting at the age of 13 in every woman on average and until menopause. Menstruation normally lasts between 2 and 7 days. The monthly period can be postponed with medication support. However, these medications should definitely be used in consultation with a doctor. After all, the body&#8217;s natural course is affected by medication use, and like other medications used, period delaying medications also have some side effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before moving on to the side effects of period delaying drugs, it is necessary to give brief information about the use of the drug; in order to delay the period, the drug should be started at least 5 to 6 days before the expected period. The drug should be used regularly and should not be forgotten. There are period delaying drugs that are taken 2 or 3 times a day. Regardless of the period delaying drug, the duration of use is up to 10 days. Otherwise, long-term use should be under the supervision of a doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-wbtf04053\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-any-side-effects-of-period-delaying-medications\"><\/span>Are there any side effects of period delaying medications?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-wzx584055\">Like all hormonal drugs, period delaying drugs may also have some side effects due to the progesterone (gestagen) hormone they contain. However, there is no rule that every woman who uses period delaying drugs will experience side effects. The possible side effects of drugs used to delay periods are as follows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Edema in the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breast swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breast tenderness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breast fullness is a side effect of the drug seen in the chest area. These side effects mentioned also occur in the natural course of the menstrual period. If the period is delayed by using the drug, these effects experienced in the chest area are slightly more than those seen in the natural course of the menstrual period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the change in the amount of bleeding during menstruation after the medication. These side effects are temporary. After the use of the menstrual delaying medication, the menstruations return to their previous course within 1 to 2 months. Spotting or bleeding seen in drops after menstruation may also be due to the side effects of the menstrual delaying medication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea, vomiting, headache and fatigue are rare side effects of using period delaying pills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-vmmag4076\">There are no side effects other than these. There is no harm in using period delaying drugs, but under no circumstances should they be used without a doctor&#8217;s supervision. After all, this drug is a hormone-containing drug. Period delaying drugs should not be used by people with vascular occlusion, breast cancer and liver dysfunction, overweight women, those who smoke and those who use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. In addition, excessive use of these drugs can be harmful. Using them once or twice a year is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By delaying your menstrual period with medication, you can enjoy the pool during your summer vacation or spend your honeymoon worry-free. However, menstruation is a physiological event and menstrual delaying medications also contain hormones. Postponing this process by affecting the menstrual cycle that occurs physiologically every month with hormone medications should be up to the person&#8217;s request but also the doctor&#8217;s final decision.g\u00fcs\u00fcne hormon ila\u00e7lar\u0131 ile etki ederek bu s\u00fcreci ertelemek; ki\u015finin iste\u011fine ancak doktorun da nihai karar\u0131na ba\u011fl\u0131 olmal\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are planning a summer vacation or a wedding, but there is an obstacle in front of you.
