history of drug or alcohol abuse

How does alcohol abuse affect menstrual health?

Chronic alcohol consumption can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to menstrual irregularities such as amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation). Alcohol can also impact the liver’s ability to metabolize hormones, further contributing to cycle irregularities.
