A member asked:
How come cortisteroid injections trigger my menstrual cycle? i receive it for hypertrophic scarring and it brings on my cycle 10 days early. why??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids/periods??: Corticosteroids do not have a relationship to the onset of periods. Menstrual cycles at age 39 may start to become shorter on occasion, with ovulation sometimes occurring on day 7-8 instead of day 14-16, and in those instances, your period will start 14 days after ovulation, and appear to be "early".
