Does Tamoxifen Cause Menopause or Just Menopausal Symptoms?
Community Member
a year agoDoes Tamoxifen make you start menopause or just have the effects of menopause? I am pre-menopausal.. will my cycle stop?
Accepted Answer
Tamoxifen can affect menstrual cycles differently for each person - some may experience temporary or permanent changes to their periods, while others might have menopausal-like symptoms without actually entering menopause. This is definitely a great question to discuss with your oncology team, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and help you understand what to expect during treatment.
