I'm really worried because I took the meningitis B vaccine last month, and soon after I got really sick and had to go to the hospital. I'm 18, and on top of it all, my menstrual cycle seems delayed. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative, so I'm trying to figure out if the vaccine could be affecting my period. Is that a possibility?

I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.
