Ask your gynecologist to examine you because of your pelvic pain and missed periods. Rituximab or its biosimilar, ruxience, don't necessarily stop your menstrual cycle and women who don't want to become pregnant are advised to continue birth control while receiving these therapies. Is pregnancy possible? I assume you're on this therapy for autoimmune disorder and not malignancy.
