Patient's question:
I originally had irregular periods, with heavy flow. Sometimes while walking, I would feel a sudden flow from below, needing to change a sanitary pad every half hour, or else my pants would get soaked. I got pregnant during ovulation with my husband and had a child, but then had an abortion. Since then, my period hasn't come for a long time. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After having a minor surgical procedure, menstruation usually returns completely within about a month. If the menstrual delay is less than one week, it may be due to incomplete uterine recovery or possible endometrial adhesions. It is recommended to first undergo an ultrasound examination to understand the complete recovery status of the uterus. Only if the ultrasound results are normal is this issue not a concern, and even a few days of menstrual delay is acceptable. If menstruation does not occur for more than two weeks, medication can be used to aid in the complete recovery and return of menstruation.
