The gynecologist named the non-obvious reasons for the change in the menstrual cycle

An obstetrician-gynecologist, WHO expert on reproductive health and human rights Lyubov Yerofeyeva told why women's menstrual cycle can change.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, February 12, she noted that taking vitamins cannot directly affect the menstrual cycle. According to her, the changes that occur after the start of taking vitamins are not necessarily related to them, since the cycle is affected by many factors, from the psychological state to the acute respiratory viral infection.

The expert noted that iron, B vitamins and vitamin D prescribed in winter only help to normalize hemoglobin levels and support the immune system. She added that delays are possible even in full health, as the body reacts to various circumstances.: This may be due to late ovulation or insufficient progesterone production in the second phase of the cycle. The gynecologist also clarified that other medications, including antibiotics and antivirals, can affect the menstrual cycle.
