Question : My wife has a menstruation cycle of 30days lasting for 4days. She got on 25th of XXXXXXX and next on 24th of July. She was expecting it to start by 22nd of August which did not happen. We got marred on 14th August and have planned our honeymoon from 25th to 27th August. This will be the first time we will be getting intimate. She wants to know if it is possible to postpone the period by 4 to 5 days. If possible, are there any side effects? Will there be any problem in future? She tried preponing them by eating papaya, having sugarcane juice, pomegranate juice but nothing happened yet. Please advise.

Brief Answer:
It has minor side effects that are well tolerated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It can be associated with mild nausea and headache but all these are transient effects. There is no long term complication if used only once. Such minor side effects are common with most of the medicines so you need not worry.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
