HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different factors that can impact on menstruation. Physical or emotional health are one of these factors.

The fact that you are currently fighting a viral illness may have affected your menstruation.

You can observe at this point. If your next cycle is also irregular for you then you can consult your doctor.

The other factors (other that emotional or physical well being) that can affect menstruation are (1) fibroids (2) endometriosis (3) side effect of medication (4) polyps (5)ovarian dysfunction

Blood tests and imaging may be required.

I hope this helps
