Customer question:
Due to polycystic ovaries and the desire to conceive (if only natural), I wonder if the Vitex supplement is suitable for me as well? How is it taken (throughout the month also during menstruation) and what can be the 'side' effects (it can delay menstruation, ...)? How is it with taking medication at the same time or. other additives (hemorrhoid tea) ... Thanks and lp! Lucia!
Pharmacist's answer:
Dear!
Ordinary cannabis can be used in various gynecological conditions such as premenstrual syndrome, menstrual cycle disorder. The use of cannabis is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Due to the probable estrogenic effect, concomitant use of cannabis is not recommended with estrogens, antiestrogens and some other active substances. Cannabis use is also contraindicated in hormone-related sensitive sites.
Special care should also be taken in the case of an IVF procedure.
Side effects: There are reports of very rare allergic reactions with swelling of the face and difficulty swallowing and breathing. The following side effects are also rare: headache, dry mouth, problems related to the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, pain, etc.), menstrual disorders, fatigue ...
In some clinical trials, patients have been taking cannabis for 3 to 5 months. During this period, the length of the cycle was normalized, bleeding was re-established in patients with secondary amenorrhea, and menstrual disorders were eliminated. We do not recommend getting pregnant during the period of taking cannabis.
Before you decide to use it, we advise you to visit a specialist, as it is not clear from your question whether you have already visited it. We definitely suggest a visit, as you can also get pregnant in a completely natural way with the help of medication.
