Question 1

can genital infection delay my period?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It kinda depends on what type of infection you had?  If it was a simple yeast or bacterial infection, then likely no.  If it was pelvic inflammatory disease and you were given IV antibiotics with fever, etc., then yes.  At 43 years of age, there can also be greater variability in one's period, so it could be hormonal (more likely).  If doesn't come soon, you may want to see a doctor for evaluation.

Question 2

Yes you can: Yeast infection or genital warts will not effect you getting pregnant or carrying pregnancy to term.

Question 3

my doctor prescribes azithromycin 500mg /day for 7 days for my genital infection. is it safe to take such high dosage? i have checked the drug information on the internet that 500mg to be taken on day 1 and then 250mg for 2 to 5th day?

Accepted Answer

: This actually isn't such a high dose of azithromycin and won't cause any harm. That said, it's more than usually needed, although it depends on exactly what kind of "genital infection" is being treated. (The most common genital infection treated with azithromycin is chlamydia, which only requires a single 1 g dose. OTOH, chlamydia is uncommon at your age, so probably it's something else.)
