Hello Doctor,
Can typhoid fever cause hormonal changes affecting the menstrual cycle?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
During infections like typhoid fever, the body undergoes stress, which can lead to hormonal imbalances. This imbalance can potentially delay menstrual periods. However, if the delay extends beyond 10 days, it's advisable to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. The suggested investigations such as ultrasound and thyroid profile can help identify any underlying causes of the menstrual irregularities and guide appropriate treatment. Staying well-hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting adequate rest are indeed important for overall recovery during illness.
Thanks
