I'm a 25 year female. I experience regular periods with normal menstrual flow but with some uncomfortable cramps on the first day of my period. I was advised to take paracetamol to ease the pain. But when I take paracetamol, my pain is gone for few hours but I also noticed that my normal menstrual flow is very much reduced. So I stopped relying on any medicines for my cramps. But recently I was diagnosed with paronychial infection and was prescribed some doses of drugs that included aceclofenac, paracetamol and serrtiopeptidase together as a combination drug. Apart from this I was prescribed the antibiotic cefpodoxime protexil. The day of this diagnosis coincided with the first day of my period. The period flow was normal until I took the medicines. After an hour of taking the prescribed medicines I observed a drastic reduction in menstrual flow. But I cannot skip these medicines either. Is this normal? If not, what am I supposed to do?

Rather than paracetamol you need an antispasmodic
These medicines are not responsible for the reduction in the blood flow during periods
So you will have to take the medication prescribed for the nail infection
The reasons for reduction of blood flow during periods is being overweight or deranged thyroid levels
you can start exercising and get your thyroid level state
