What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion a few weeks ago. My first period after the abortion came 40 days later, but it has been almost half a month since then and I still haven't had it. My friend said I might have gynecological problems, and now I'm also questioning whether I have gynecological problems. I'm very worried. I want to ask what causes a delayed period after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it seems that if your menstrual cycle keeps recurring and delaying after a miscarriage, it is likely due to endometrial damage and thinning, which may lead to heavy bleeding. In these days, eat more warming foods, avoid overtime work, and see if there is any abdominal pain. However, do not feel stressed. You can also consider taking traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating blood and regulating menstruation to see if it helps. But avoid overtime work. It is recommended to try dietary therapy by eating more soy products.
