Does Typhoid Vaccination Affect Menstrual Cycle?

I recently took the typhoid vaccination in the pill form, and now my period is very late and may be missed soon. I am sexually active but on birth control and using condoms so it is highly unlikely I am pregnant. Is the period issue because of the vaccine?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I understand your concern

As per literature,typhoid vaccine is not known to cause any interference with menstrual cycle.

Cycle of menstrual period may normally variate between 24-35 days.
The delay may be because of stress/exertion/inadequate diet or anaemia/obesity.
If the delay occurs more than 7-9 days repeatedly every month,it may be cause of anaemia/thyroid disorders/polycystic ovary syndrome/pelvic inflammatory disease.
-Take adequate and healthy diet and maintain hydration.
-Keep body weight within control by regular exercising
-Practice regular yoga and meditation to destress your mind.
-If same thing happens every month ,visit to gynaecologist to rule out above mentioned possibilities.Further management will depend upon diagnosis.

Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask any more query.
