Patient's question:
In November 2017, I had an abortion. From February to April 2018, I didn't have my period for three consecutive months. In May, I had a thorough check-up, and it was found that the endometrium hadn't reached the required thickness. After that, my period came, but it wasn't regular, even coming only once every month. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is after bringing in menstrual disorders. If causes damage to the functional layer of the uterus, it may lead to a short-term period of amenorrhea. After complete recovery, if menstrual disorders still persist, it is likely due to endocrine disorders. I suggest you get tested for the six sex hormones to assess the health of your ovarian function. Pay attention to maintaining a regular lifestyle, and avoid eating cold foods or drinking cold beverages. For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to focus on self-care training. For example, pay close attention to personal hygiene, and avoid sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is important to remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations.
