Women may be particularly vulnerable to alcohol harm, but many current theories fail to acknowledge the unique factors that influence female alcohol use. The biological mechanisms underlying female alcohol consumption have largely been unexplored, although recently the menstrual cycle has been highlighted as a potentially important factor. This systematic review, using a narrative synthesis, examined the association between the menstrual cycle phases on alcohol consumption and aimed to determine whether hormonal contraception influences this association. The review follows PRISMA and SWiM guidelines, registration number: CRD42018112744. Electronic searches were conducted in the relevant databases with keyword (e.g., “menstrua*”; “alcohol”). Thousand six hundred and sixty-two titles were identified, 16 of which were included in the review. Results were inconsistent regarding whether an association between menstrual cycle phase and alcohol consumption was found. Furthermore, there was inconsistency regarding which phase was associated with higher consumption, and different factors were reported to have moderated the direction, e.g., family history of alcohol use disorder (AUD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These conflicting results may be partly explained by variability in both study quality and design, and differences in measurement of cycle phase and alcohol consumption. More robust research is needed before conclusions can be drawn with regard to the role of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraception on female drinking behavior. This review provides recommendations to strengthen research in this area.

The article aims to assess the possibility of ultrasound scanning and dopplerstudy in the assessment of the condition of the ovaries and endometrial in patients after long intake of COC, predicting the restoration of reproductive function after the abolition of hormonal contraception. Material and methods. In 2018-2019, 37 women were examined after the abolition of oral contraceptives, which they took for a long period of time. At the time of the examination, all the patients stopped taking COC at least 2 months ago due to the fact that they were planning a pregnancy. UW the study was conducted on the apparat Voluson E8 Expert (General Electric), improving the quality of diagnostics used Automatic assessment of follicle condition based on ultrasonic echography (Sono AVCTM follicle) and tomographic ultrasound (TUI). Results. According to the study significant changes recorded 17 patients whose menstrual cycle did not recover within the first 6 months after the cancellation of COC. In a group of 20 patients with a regular menstrual cycle, the results of the study were within normal limits, pregnancy within 6 months occurred on their own in 8 of them. Conclusion. The possibilities of 3 dimensional reconstruction and programs for evaluating the follicular apparatus significantly improve the quality of ultrasound diagnostics, give more information about the presence of small follicles, blood flow in the ovarian tissue, the structure of the cortical apparatus substances and stroma, whichis the ability of a clinician to obtain a complete understanding of the condition of the ovaries and endometrial and predicting a good health of patients. The article may be of interest to obstetricians-gynecologists, ultrasound specialists, endocrinologists, reproductive specialists.

Menstrual periodic is a relevant indicator of reproductive health and changes in the menstrual cycle can effect a woman quality of life.And then, abnormal menstrual cycle can interfere woman reproductive health.As for the factors that influence changes in the menstrual cycle not only biological factors and social environmental factors but also influence by contraception. The choice of the contraception cannot be generalized because it depends on the character and deedsof individual. Pill end injection contraception is hormonal contraception. The purpose of research is to find out is there are relationship between use of contraception pil with the change on menstruation cycle. The design is quantitative Dedskriptif with cross sectional approach. The sample is taken with total sampling technic, with total sample is 40 respondents. The result statisyic chi square obtained p = 0,001. The Conclusion there is relationship between use contraception combinastion pil with change in menstruastion cycle at puskesmas sonder county minshasa.Keywords : combination Pil, change menstruastion cycle.Abstrak : Menstruasi atau haid adalah perubahan fisiologis dalam tubuh wanita yang secara berkala terjadi dan dipengaruhi oleh hormon reproduksi, atau disebut juga pengeluaran darah, mukus, dan debrissel dari mukosa uterus disertai pelepasan (deskuamasi) endometrium secara periodik dan siklik, yang dimulai sekitar 14 hari setelah ovulasi. Siklus menstruasi dianggap sebagai indijator yang relevan dari kesehatan reproduksi, dan perubahan pada siklus menstruasi dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup wanita. Dengan demikian siklus menstruasi yang tidak normal dapat mengganggu kesehatan reproduksi wanita. Adapun faktor yang mempengaruhi perubahan pada siklus menstruasi tidak hanya faktor biologis dan faktor lingkungan sosial tetapi juga dipengaruhi oleh alat kontrasepsi. Pemilihan kontrasepsi tidak dapat disamaratakan karena tergantung karakter dan keperluan individu tersebut. KB suntik dan pil KB merupakan kontrasepsi hormonal Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui Apakah ada hubungan penggunaan kontrasepsi pil Kombinasi dengan perubahan siklus menstruasi di Puskesmas Sonder. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel diambil dengan Teknik pengambilan total sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 40 responden. Hasil penelitian statstic uji Chi-Square didapatkan p = 0.001.

Migraine is the first most frequent cause of disability among women of reproductive age globally, and up to 60% of patients note the association of headache attacks with menstruation.Objective: to determine the features of menstrual cycle and gynecologic pathology in women with menstrual-related migraine (MRM).Patients and methods. A prospective comparative study included 69 women of reproductive age with a migraine diagnosis who did not receive hormonal contraception. Depending on the association of migraine attacks with menstruation (according to headache diaries), the patients were divided into two groups: the 1st group consisted of 44 patients with MRM; group 2 — 25 patients with non-menstrual migraine (without the association of attacks with menstruation).Results and discussion. Patients with MRM had heavier menstrual bleeding, longer menstruations (more than six days), abnormal menstrual cycle length and regularity, dysmenorrhea. In addition, the obtained data indicate a comorbid estrogen-associated gynecological pathology (endometriosis, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, myoma) in MRM.Conclusion. Presumably, the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction plays the leading role in the MRM. It presents with menstrual cycle abnormalities and increased presence of estrogen-associated gynecological pathology, which should be considered during patient evaluation and suggesting recommendations.

Objective. Clinicians and regulators are receiving reports of changes to menstrual periods following COVID-19 vaccination. However, it is unclear if the two are biologically linked. If they are, people using hormonal contraception are predicted to be less likely to report a change and spontaneously cycling people vaccinated prior to ovulation more likely. The objective was to test these hypotheses. Design. Retrospective cohort study. Setting. UK. Population. 1273 people who had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination, have periods or withdrawal bleeds and keep a record of the dates of these. Methods. Participants reported whether they use any hormonal contraception and, for each dose of the vaccine, on which day of their menstrual cycle they were vaccinated and details of how the timing and flow of their next period compared to their normal experience. Main outcome measures. Association between 1. the use of hormonal contraception and reported changes to timing or flow of the next menstrual period, and 2. the timing of vaccination within the menstrual cycle and reported changes to timing or flow of the next menstrual period. Results. The data from this cohort did not support the pre-specified hypotheses that people using hormonal contraception would be less likely to report a change, or that spontaneously cycling people vaccinated prior to ovulation would be more likely to report a change. Conclusions. This study did not detect strong signals supporting the idea that COVID-19 vaccination is linked to menstrual changes in most people. Funding. No specific funding.
