I'm a 37-year-old woman and recently I had a lot of vaginal discharge with some itching, so my doctor gave me clingen forte vaginal capsules. I finished the whole treatment and I'm not having those symptoms anymore. But now I'm five days late for my period, and I'm wondering if its possible that clingen forte could be causing this delay?

there is no evidence that use of clingen forte suppositiries delay periods . But if u are a sexually active person would advise to go for a urine pregnancy test and if it comes negative to go ahead with a b hcg blood test that will be definitive of ruling out any pregnancy. In case both negative then it would be advised to visit the gynaecologist for further treatmen
