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.
I was just wondering if being on percocets can affect the length and heaviness? i have noticed since i have been on the medicine (6 per day) my periods are not as long in my cycle. Lasting only 2 to 3 days and the first 24 hrs I cannot leave my house due to the heaviness of them.
Percocet is having oxycodone and paracetamol combination. Oxycodone is centrally acting opioid analgesic. Paracetamol is anti pyretic and anti-inflammatory. Both these have no effect on female hormones. So I don't think your menstrual abnormality and Heaviness are due to Percocet.
You should consult gynecologist and get done a clinical examination and hormone levels to rule out the hormonal imbalance. You may need hormone pills to regulate hormones. Once your hormones normalize, you will be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar,
Pulmonologist
