Question: I need to know if a head injury can effect my menstrual cycle?
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
Menstrual cycle is controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in brain.
A head injury can affect these and hence can affect the menstrual cycle.
I hope that answers your question.
