Can cervical spondylosis cause menstrual irregularities?

There is no direct relationship between cervical spondylosis and menstrual irregularities, but certain indirect effects may exist. Cervical spondylosis itself does not directly cause menstrual disorders. Cervical spondylosis primarily affects the nervous system, whereas the regulation of the menstrual cycle is mainly controlled by the endocrine system; thus, there is no direct connection between the two. However, chronic pain caused by cervical spondylosis may lead to psychological stress and increase physiological burden, thereby affecting the endocrine system and indirectly contributing to menstrual irregularities. This effect is not absolute, as individuals differ in their tolerance and response to pain. Therefore, while managing cervical spondylosis, it is also important to regulate the endocrine system and maintain good mental health. If menstrual irregularities occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
