Brief Answer:
Surgical stress can be the causative factor

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Any surgery and stress can lead to hormonal disturbances and irregular bleeding.
Vaginal infection and antibiotics do not lead to irregular periods.
There is nothing to worry if there is no further irregular bleeding.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
