Can shingles delay a woman's period?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can: any stress could, including pain from shingles. Also, consider other possible causes - pregnancy or menopause

Not likely: I wouldn't expect an outbreak of shingles to interfere with your menstrual cycle but if you have uncharacteristically missed your period,get checked for pregnancy and your obgyn is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.
