I have very painful periods. I have tried in several ways to remove the pain, but it simply did not work. I have decided to start taking some pain killers. Now I take Diclofenac, which subdued the pain. Still, next month I missed my period, I am very frightened because I do not know the reason for my condition. Could Diclofenac (Cataflam) be the reason for my missed periods?
Diclofenac is a pain killer. Its effect is based on the inhibition of prostaglandins that are part of the inflammation process. It belongs to a group of NSAID, so as far as I know these medications do not have any effect on the period. In your case, other possibilities should be explored as the possible reasons of your troubles.
