Patient's question:
After my period, I had an iodine water fallopian tube contrast examination. This month, my period was supposed to come on the 6th. Usually, it sometimes delays by two or three days. According to that, it should have arrived by now. Today is the 12th, and it still hasn't come. The past two days, I've had a slight, intermittent pain in my lower abdomen, similar to the feeling during my period, but it hasn't arrived yet. Because I'm breastfeeding, what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation first requires considering the possibility of pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, it is necessary to consider irregular menstruation caused by various factors: 1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction leading to endocrine disorders; 2. Organic inflammation or medication. Additionally, excessive mental stress, environmental changes, and malnutrition can also cause irregular menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound and gynecological examination to check the normality of the ovaries and uterus, as well as the normality of hormone secretion. After a thorough examination, additional treatment can be implemented. Your condition still requires a preliminary examination and adjustment.
