Patient's question:
Since having an abortion, my menstrual flow has always been very light, with intervals of more than 35 days.Is something wrong? Will it affect future fertility? How should I be treated?
First follow-up question: Can anyone with experience answer this? I really don’t want to go to the hospital for a check-up!
Doctor's answer:
Menstrual prolongation refers to a menstrual cycle with a normal period lasting more than 7 days, or even up to two weeks to subside. The reasons affecting menstruation can be divided into two major categories:1. Disorders of the nervous-endocrine function: This is primarily due to defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis endocrine system, which manifests as menstrual irregularities due to endocrine disorders.
2. Organic lesions or drug-induced causes: This includes local inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, and other conditions of the reproductive organs.
