Patient's question:
I had my IUD removed from the hospital on December 14th. Usually, I get my period on the 28th of each month, but I haven't had my period yet. Is this normal? Can removing the IUD cause a delayed period?Doctor's answer:
The decidualization process may cause certain damage to the endometrium, which can slightly affect menstruation. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only impacts a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test done at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
