Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No mumps won't do delay in the cycle.

Mumps can affect on the salivary gland it won't affect on the menstrual glands nor dose it affects the hormonal values in the blood so it won't affect menstrual bleeding.

You can either check the pregnancy test after few days or you can wait for some day to menstrual bleeding to come.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
