Can Intake Of Metronidazole For Vaginosis Cause Delayed Periods?
I was diagnosed with vaginosis a few months ago. I was prescribed metronidazole ( 5days ) for treatment. During the course of treatment, my period lasted a whole month but it wasn t heavy and I had an usual discharge. That was in July. I am still waiting for my period to come back. I hope there aren t any issues at this point. Please help

Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the delayed period while taking Metronidazole for vaginal infection.
Metronidazole is not known to cause delayed period.
There may possibilities of either the infection (vaginosis) that you already had, for which you took Metronidazole, or stress or psychological disturbance or hormonal imbalance responsible for the delayed periods.
Please consult your gynaecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I could answer your query.
