Does taking progesterone help if your period is delayed?

Patient's question:

No longer having sexual intercourse, it's impossible to get pregnant again. Currently, I have occasional mild lower abdominal pain, and my leukorrhea is yellow and a bit excessive with no odor. Could this be postoperative complications? Could it be caused by conditions like cervical adhesion, uterine adhesion, or local endometrial damage as mentioned online, leading to absent menstruation? I recently got married and don't understand this, and my husband isn't around either. I'm really grateful for your help. Thank you!
Medical History and Treatment Effects: No treatment has been administered. I have never had any gynecological conditions.
Desired Help: Could this be caused by cervical adhesion, uterine adhesion, or local endometrial damage due to the abortion? Would taking progesterone be helpful?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello! If your second period after an abortion came on May 29th, then these three periods are still quite regular. Therefore, the possibility of intrauterine adhesions is unlikely. The absence of your current period is also not considered a post-abortion complication or endometrial damage, given that your previous three periods were all normal.
Advice: Taking progesterone usually results in menstruation occurring 5-7 days after stopping the medication. So, it's normal not to have a period while taking it. You can take the medication for one more day and then stop. Afterward, be patient and wait for your period to arrive. I suspect that the reason for your delayed period may be related to irregular lifestyle, insufficient sleep, poor nutrition, mood fluctuations, or other factors during this period. Therefore, it's best to try to regulate these aspects as much as possible.
