Are you experiencing more frequent period cycles since starting biologics for HS?

While biologics like Humira and Bimzelx are known to help manage HS symptoms, there isn't specific information available about them causing more frequent menstrual cycles as a side effect.

However, it's worth noting that HS itself has a complex relationship with hormones and menstrual cycles. Many people with HS experience worsening symptoms around their period, but changes in cycle frequency from biologics aren't commonly reported.

Since you just started Bimzelx last week, it's important to monitor this change and discuss it with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if:

- The change is related to the new medication
- It's a temporary adjustment as your body adapts
- Other factors might be contributing

Your doctor may want to evaluate whether this is a side effect that needs addressing or if it's unrelated to your biologic treatment. Don't hesitate to reach out to them, especially if the changes are concerning or disruptive to your daily life.
