A member asked:

I've been told a kenalog allergy shot can affect my menstrual cycle. in what way(s) does it affect the cycle and for how long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menses: I don't know the answer to your question, but there are anecdotal reports of women who noted more prolonged menstrual bleeding after a corticosteroid injection. I believe that an gynecological endocrinologist is best qualified to answer this question.
