Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I am 5 days late for my period. I had Clindamycin a month ago and took pills. Could this be the reason why I am late?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Although chlamydia infection itself does not directly affect your menstrual cycles, the treatment for it can indirectly impact cycle regularity. Antibiotics used to treat chlamydia can occasionally disrupt the balance of bacteria in your body, especially in your vaginal flora, which may affect your menstrual cycle. I hope this answers your query.

 

Thanks
