Is It Normal for Menstruation to End in 2 Days After Taking Hemostatic Medication?

Is it normal for my period to end in 2 days after taking hemostatic medication?

Dear Doctor, I had a minor surgery for a mole on August 31, and the doctor prescribed a hemostatic medication from YSP TEC, likely due to concerns about postoperative bleeding.
My menstrual period started on September 6, and while the flow was normal on September 7, I took the hemostatic medication again that evening.
As a result, the next day, my menstrual flow was almost nonexistent.
Could this hemostatic medication be the reason for the sudden cessation of my menstrual flow? Will this interruption affect the timing and volume of my next menstrual cycle? Thank you for your response, as I am feeling a bit anxious since my period has only lasted two days.

As a result, the next day, my menstrual flow was almost nonexistent.

More Info

It's understandable to feel concerned about changes in your menstrual cycle, especially after taking hemostatic medication like YSP TEC. Hemostatic agents are designed to reduce or stop bleeding, and they can indeed have an impact on menstrual flow.
In your case, it seems that after taking the hemostatic medication, your menstrual bleeding significantly decreased after the second day. This could be attributed to the medication's effect on your body's clotting mechanisms. Hemostatic drugs work by promoting blood clotting and can lead to a reduction in menstrual flow, especially if taken during your period.
Typically, a normal menstrual cycle lasts between 3 to 7 days, and the flow can vary from light to heavy. If your menstruation ended abruptly after just two days, it might be due to the influence of the medication. However, it's essential to note that individual responses to medications can vary widely. Some women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking certain medications, while others may not notice any difference.

Regarding your concern about whether this will affect your next menstrual cycle, it's difficult to predict with certainty. In many cases, menstrual cycles can return to their regular pattern in the following month, but there can be variations. Factors such as stress, hormonal changes, and medications can all influence your cycle. If your next period is significantly different in terms of timing or flow, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.

If you continue to experience irregularities in your menstrual cycle or have any other concerning symptoms, such as severe pain or unusual discharge, it would be wise to seek medical advice. Your healthcare provider can perform a thorough evaluation and determine if any further investigation or treatment is necessary.

In summary, while it is not uncommon for hemostatic medications to affect menstrual flow, it's essential to monitor your cycle and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status. Remember, your health and peace of mind are paramount, so don't hesitate to reach out for professional guidance.
