A member asked:

Can kenalog (triamcinolone) throw off your period? i had an injection 2 weeks ago and i am 1 week late. it feels as though i'm on my period, but i am not bleeding.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Steroids can have many side-effects such as mood change, weight gain, delay of menses, but kenalog (triamcinolone) injections are short-lasting so any side-effects should be temporary and not long-lasting. If you do not continue to have steroid injections, your periods should normalize after the next month or so. If you have regular steroid injections, then you may have ongoing disturbance of your menstrual cycle.
