What should I do if I don't get my period after surgery?

Patient's question:

The patient had a surgery and also a hysterectomy. It has been four and a half months since the surgery, and her period still hasn't arrived. She is a bit worried.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after artificial abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks and avoid reading newspapers and watching TV. In the first 2 weeks after the surgery, rest appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor. Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly. Keep the external genital area clean and hygienic, wash with warm water 1-2 times a day, and change sanitary pads and underwear frequently. Do not take a bath during the first 2 weeks or until the bleeding stops. Avoid sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infection.
