Patient's question:
I am 47 years old, and I had an abortion on April 28th without pain. Since the abortion, I haven't had my period until now. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of this gonadal axis, leading to menstrual disorders. The menstrual period generally lasts about 3 to 7 days. It is normal for menstruation to be slightly or delayed by about one week. If menstruation is delayed by more than 10 days, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department in a hospital for appropriate examinations to confirm the diagnosis.Advice: If you have frequent menstrual disorders or sudden severe symptoms of menstrual irregularity, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal hospital. It is advisable to choose a tertiary hospital, considering the qualifications of the experts, the technology, and the equipment available. I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you well.
