Patient's question:
I had an abortion procedure with anesthesia on April 22nd at 4 PM. It has been a full month since then, up to May 22nd, and I haven't had my period yet. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a delayed menstrual period is generally considered to be one of two situations: the first is pregnancy, in which a morning urine test should be conducted again around one week after the expected period. The second is menstrual irregularity.A menstrual period arriving one week earlier or later is considered a normal phenomenon. If it does not arrive for more than 10 days or longer, and pregnancy is ruled out, it should be considered menstrual irregularity, and an endocrine examination is needed to identify the underlying cause.
