Patient's question:
I recently had an IUD removal surgery and a D&C procedure. After that, I bled for about three to four days, which stopped. However, I haven't had my period yet, and it's already a few days late. It should not be pregnancy, as I haven't had any sexual activity. I don't know how long it will take for my period to return to normal after a D&C procedure.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Normally, menstruation should return about a month after a D&C procedure. However, if estrogen levels are low due to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), it may be delayed. Low estrogen levels can cause menstrual irregularities, and for your IUD removal, it may also lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you take progesterone to regulate your menstrual cycle. Additionally, you can take Liangji Bafeng Wan or Duphaston for treatment.
