What Causes Delayed Periods While Suffering From Typhoid?

Hi my name is Divine i was diagnosed with typhoid last month and i missed my period. Though my period does not have a specific date it comes but last month it didn't come at all
Can it be due to the anti biotic I took when I was sick or what else can be the cause.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Typhoid infection is less likely to cause delay in periods.
It is normal for period to variate between 7-9 days of expected date of period(menses).
Delay is when the periods donot come beyond this frame of 7-9 days.
Causes of delay of menses may be pregnancy/stress/obesity/overexertion.
Other common medical causes can be thyroid disorders or PCOD.
I advise you to consult a gynaecologist as proper medical history will be required.Investigations like urine pregnancy test(if married),USG pelvis,thyroid profile will be needed.
Practice regular yoga, meditation and have healthy diet for destressing yourself.

Hope I answered your query.
Any further query is welcome.
