Can Taking Steroid For Sinus Headache Cause Menopause ?
Had severe sinus headache in May 2011, went to dr. was given a steriod shot and an antibiotic shot. Was perscribed antiobiotic and steriod pac. Headache felt better within 1 hour of shots; about 2 days into treatment had re-occuring hot flashes and wake up early 3 hours like clock work. This continued and worsened some as I continued prescriptions. Finished both. I am 49 years old. It was time for me to have my period when this all happened, never started and havent had a period yet. Could these steriods throw someone into menopause who is already on the edge of it??????
Hi,thanks for query.It could just be a co incidence.Any drugs can disturb the monthly cycle in an individual.There is nothing to worry about.Sinus infection needs proper treatment so please keep regular follow up with your doctor and complete the course of treatment.One fine day the menopause may come.
wishing you good health.
