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.
