Can Epclusa Cause Menstrual Irregularities?
whats wrong
Please exclude pregnancy and hormone imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Though the medication in itself is not responsible for any menstrual disturbances, the disease and the associated stress can lead to hormone imbalance. This is observed with any major illness.
Also, if you are sexually active without any contraception, pregnancy should be excluded/confirmed through the blood test and a trans-vaginal sonogram. The sonogram also helps to know the status of the pelvic organs.
Please maintain a healthy diet. Soreness of the breast can occur with early pregnancy as well as in premenstrual phase.

Please get a proper clinical evaluation.

Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Certain medications can lead to irregular bleeding. Also, hepatitis itself can cause coagulation defects. Any of these may have been the cause of the hemorrhage you experienced while undergoing treatment.
In the current scenario, I would suggest a proper clinical evaluation by a specialist. You need to get hormone levels, coagulation profile and liver function. If no obvious cause is detected, you may be given hormones to induce a period.
Please do not worry. The imbalance should settle down in course of time.
Hope this helps.

Not to worry if small.

Hello,
Thanks for writing again.
Cysts on the ovary are not always harmful, nor do they always need surgical removal.
The cysts of small size, less than an inch, are left under observation and medically managed.
Cysts that are larger and have other causes than being functional, need more aggressive treatment. Complications arising due to the size are one among them.
Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
