Good morning. My wife is 10 days late in her menstrual cycle. We were using condoms as birth control. She had a severe case of the mumps last month. She has taken three home test pregnancy tests and all are negative.Could the mumps have delayed her cycle.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No mumps won't do delay in the cycle. Mumps can affect on the salivary gland it won't effect 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/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
