A member asked:

Can menstruation during an mri have any effects or problems with the body being able to get rid of the contrast?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: The contrast is removed from your body by the kidneys. Menstruation should have no effect on this process.

No: Mri contrast is excreted through the kidneys and should not be related to the menstrual cycle.
