Menstrual periods, which can cause women to have difficult days with many symptoms such as pain and stress, are mostly wanted to be postponed during the holiday period. However, postponing menstruation does not reduce the distress experienced during this period, it only stops or in some cases reduces bleeding.

The menstrual period can be brought forward or postponed with some medications before the expected menstrual date. If you are already using a birth control pill, it is possible to go through this period without bleeding, provided that you use the birth control pill uninterruptedly.

Exam stress does not take medicine

Due to reasons such as seasonal changes during the exam period, psychological fluctuations in the person, and intense stress, sometimes bleeding cannot be prevented despite the use of medication. It may not always be possible to completely stop bleeding with medications. Intermediate bleeding and early bleeding may occur. Although the drugs used to delay menstruation suppress stress, the desired effect cannot be achieved because the natural cycle in the body continues hormonally. While there is extreme stress for a person taking the exam, simply delaying menstrual bleeding will not change their mental state much. Only organically, some reduction in bleeding can be achieved. Since the concerns of daily life continue in the same way, there will be no positive impact.

You should definitely consult a doctor

Before using medication to delay or earlier menstrual period, a gynecological check-up is required. Although it is common for women to recommend drugs to each other, it is a very wrong way to do it. Just as it is not possible to adjust the timing, not everyone may be suitable for changing this cycle. The doctor needs to make sure that there is no harm in using these medications.

It is possible to reduce unexpected menstrual bleeding

It is not possible to completely stop an existing menstrual period, but the amount of bleeding can be reduced during menstrual periods that start unexpectedly. With hormone medications, for example, it is possible to reduce the menstrual bleeding of a woman whose menstrual cycle lasts 6-7 days to 2-3 days and reduce the amount of bleeding. There are some issues that need to be taken into consideration during the holiday periods. For example, on days when menstrual bleeding occurs; It is not recommended to go to places such as the sea, pool, sauna, Turkish bath. While on holiday, you can benefit from the sea by using tampons, but these tampons need to be changed every 2 hours.
