I am curious about the effects of smoking on the menstrual cycle. I have heard that coffee and other forms of caffiene can make it worse but I didnt know about smoking

Research indicates that because smoking actually lowers estrogen levels, women who smoke are "twice as likely to experience dysmenorrhea as nonsmokers, and smoking prolongs the symptoms of this condition" [Harvard School of Public Health 108:1019-1022, Chen et al]. Hope that helps.

I disagree with most on this subject. Although my cramps are always horrendous due to friboids, I have found that when I smoke, the nicotine actually helps a bit. Also, it is now being learned that nicotine helps mental illness as well as in combatting pain. Check out this article; it is very interesting -

i dont believe that smoking has anything to do with menstral cramps, too much caffiene can give you horrible cramps and ive personally found that calcium from drinking milk gave me cramps also. i found that drinking water and i stopped drinking milk and any type of calcium and my bed-ridden period cramps are a thing of the past.

I used to smoke and my periods have always been pretty horrible, but I don't think smoking made mine better or worse.

Smoking can contribute to cramps. It's recommended that you avoid smoking to lessen the cramping.

I dont think smoking would effect your menstrual cycle
The info i found shows that if you are trying to give up smoking it is harder as you have more craving............but thats about all there seems to be

I wouldnt know for sure.. but it seems like the nicorette addiction could affect your hormone levels, possibly stalling the cycle or making it come to soon
but honestly thats a guess
