Can a herniated disc effect menstrual cycle?

Answer 1

I definitely think so. Your menstrual cycle is effected by many factors each month including stress, diet, exercise regimens, and other hormonal happenings. It's perfectly normal for your period to be off kilter when you are suffering from something as stressful and debilitating as a herniated disc. The best thing to do is to eat well and rest as much as you can. The less additional stress you put yourself under, the better for your over all health and recovery.
