Why didn't my period come after finishing the medication for cervical inflammation?

Patient's question:

I am currently being treated for cervicitis. The doctor prescribed medication and said to come back for a follow-up 3-7 days after my period ends. But now my medication is finished and my period hasn't arrived yet. Yesterday, I had contact with my husband, but he didn't insert it; he just placed it near my labia. Is this serious?

Doctor's answer:

It might be related to medication, as menstruation can be delayed due to various factors such as emotions, diet, or medication. If your period doesn't come for more than a week, you can take progesterone to induce menstruation.
The occurrence of acute cervicitis not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to undergo a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
