Irregularity in periods post covid

Question

Asked for Female, 35 Years

I wanted a Gynac to answer my question. But could not get an option in drop down. My question is: I was infected with covid on15th april. I got periods on16 th april. ( which was on a proper date as per 28day cycle). Later i again got period on 30th april. I felt it might be due to covid medication. Now again i got my periods on 18th may. I had complete dose of fabiflu, ivermectin, defza and other medication for fever, cough and chest congestion as a part of covid treatment. My periods were always regular till april. It follows a 26-28 day cycle. Suddenly last month onwards im getting it every 15-19 days. Is this worrisome or a temporary disturbance due to covid medications?

No it is not worrisome.It can happen because of excessive medication and stress.Your cycle should return to normal in a month.Till then u may take some iron supplements so as to avoid a drop in ur Haemoglobin.
