Hi,
Usually postponement of cycles is not advisable in young age unless there is a strong reason. Since you are sure that the occurrence of a period during your vacation would cause discomfort, your doctor may have prescribed the medication. Prolonged use of hormones may cause some systemic side effects like vascular and hormonal imbalance.Please use your discretion for further options. Hope your query is answered. Take care.
