Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
I show that your latest menstrual cycle is shortening than 28 days; you mentioned that you have taken Flucloxacillin for the past week.
The relation between fluoxacillin with the shorten menstrual cycle isn’t clear but this may happen from the take of fluxacillin because it is an antibiotic, so the antibiotics imbalance the hormone balance, they can induce the decreasing of estrogen in blood ,the intake of antibiotics cause irregular menstrual cycle.
For more information and a specialist examination for your problem you should go to a gynecologist.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Kind regard,
Dr .Marsida JANKO
