Want to postpone your period?Here’s a gentle reminder!

Menses can sometimes be safely delayed for travel, special occasions, examinations, or other planned events.

Period postponement is usually done with hormonal medication.

The choice and timing depend on your cycle pattern, medical history, and the reason for postponement.

However, using period-postponing medicines frequently or without medical advice may cause unwanted menstrual changes.

You may notice:

• Spotting or irregular bleeding

• Headache or nausea

• Breast tenderness

• Temporary changes in your cycle

💗Remember: Menses indicates normal functioning of the body so period postponement should be planned with your gynecologist, especially if you need it frequently.

💗 Don't make it a routine without medical advice. Your periods deserve proper care.
