Can being on narcotic medication result in a irregular menstrual period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periods and opioids: Yes - long term use of opioids decreases sex hormone levels in both males and females. There are also effects on cortisol levels as well. All patients on opioids should have their hormone levels checked.
