What is Menstrual Cycle Adjustment?
Medical support helps regulate your period, allowing you to enjoy your scheduled plans comfortably. Menstrual cycle adjustment is a method of advancing or delaying the timing of menstruation through the temporary use of hormone medication, and it is a highly safe procedure when conducted under the guidance of a physician. Since side effects (nausea, swelling, light bleeding) may occur depending on the timing of administration and the method of adjustment, a physician’s prescription is necessary instead of self-medication.
When is it Effective?
In your daily life or for important events, is there a day you wish to avoid your period?
Although menstruation is natural, the timing can sometimes cause significant discomfort or anxiety. This treatment is used by women across a wide age range, from middle school and high school students to working adults and brides-to-be. Before you resign yourself to thinking, “I can’t because I’ll be on my period,” please feel free to consult us.

Methods and Precautions for Menstrual Cycle Adjustment
We propose an optimal method tailored to your desired schedule and current physical condition. There are two methods for adjusting the menstrual cycle: “advancing the period” and “delaying the period.” The starting time and duration of medication use are determined after confirming your menstrual cycle and current hormone status. By temporarily taking the pill (hormone medication), the period can be adjusted in a manner close to your natural rhythm. Side effects (nausea, swelling, light bleeding) may occur depending on the hormone medication used, but they are mostly temporary. Please be assured that the physician will explain everything carefully.
For Advancing the Period
- Hormone medication is taken after ovulation in the previous cycle to induce bleeding, thereby advancing the next period.
- Consultation approximately 3 weeks before the expected period is ideal.
For Delaying the Period
- Hormone medication is taken starting a few days before the expected period, and menstruation begins after the drug is stopped.
- Please consult us at least 1 week before the scheduled period.
