What Causes Heavy Menstrual Bleeding After Smoking Methamphetamine?
Question: I've been smoking Meth almost daily for the past 6months and within the last couple of months notice that I'm bleeding/having periods for about 3weeks out of the month. I'm a 40 mother of 3 with last baby in the last year. Do you think it's the Meth or just an aging process. Also have been having sex daily at least once a day if not three times. Thank you for your response.
Brief Answer:
Meth side effects....
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your message and understood your problem.
Meth is a very psychoactive street drug and it may affect your nursing activity as a mother and education of the child as you may become violent later and harm your children.
You are addictive to this drug and you are increasing the dosage by smoking it every day.
This is the cause of your long lasting menstruations (3 weeks) because meth causes blood thinning and predisposes for heavy bleeding and anemia because of the loss of blood.
The huge release of dopamine because of meth make you feel pleasure and seek for pleasure ( heavy sex activity) and maybe exposed to violent actions which may cause you genital traumas.
It is nothing about an aging process, things are happening because of meth. I think you need to ask for immediate medical help to the nearest clinic you have and get detoxified. It is a little difficult to be done but you need to be patient and determined for your children. OG specialist is recommended to consult too in order to rule out any uterine pathologies (e.g tumors or infection).
You will go through more dangerous health problems like brain damage and stroke if you keep smoking meth. Also, if you breastfeed your baby, you give meth to him/her as well and cause serious health problem to the baby as well.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have further queries.
