Q:

Can cocaine affect your period?

 

A:

Any recreational drug can affect your hormonal balance, particularly if you are eating less because of the appetite suppressant effect of the stimulant. You are not saying how your period has changed, but many cocaine dependent women become oligo or amenorrheic (irregular or no menses) because of the effects of the drug on their brain, pituitary, hypothalamus, and thyroid.
