Does taking medication for gynecological diseases delay menstruation?

Patient's question:

On October 29th, I had a medication abortion. After that, I experienced itching in the vaginal area. After a careful examination, it was found to be a fungal infection. Then, I started taking medication for treatment. The medications I took were Nifuratel tablets and something else (I can't remember the name). Besides using a vaginal wash multiple times and inserting medication several times, I only took the medication occasionally. I'm not sure if this will interfere with the delayed menstruation. It was supposed to come on December 29, 2010, but it hasn't arrived yet. There are no symptoms, and I'm sure I'm not pregnant again, right?

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual period is delayed, it cannot be ruled out that pregnancy is the cause! Medications can also disrupt the endocrine system, leading to menstrual irregularities! It is recommended that you perform an ultrasound or a pregnancy test one week after the delay to confirm whether pregnancy is the case! In addition to treating gynecological diseases, it is suggested that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
