Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Using Tanning Bed Cause Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Does or could a tanning bed effect your menstrual cycle or flow? On Thursday I went to the tanning salon for the first time. When I got home my period started four days early and a very heavy flow right out the gate. Today, Monday I was having a light flow all day. I went to the tanning salon for the second time and right after my flow became really heavy again. Is this just a coincidence or is there something to it?
Hi Thanks for posting your query on HCM I have read and understood your concern It might just be a coincidence as tanning may not have a direct effect on menstrual bleeding.It does has some dangers most of which are limited to the skin.However, i will suggest you see the Doctor to investigate possible causes of such menstrual abnormalities. A pelvic ultrasound will be very useful. Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns Best regards
