Medical History Description: Menstruation started on July 1st and has not ended by July 11th. After visiting the hospital, a D&C (dilation and curettage) was performed to remove an IUD. As of today (August 13th), menstruation has still not occurred. Please explain the reason. Thank you.Age: 46
Previous Treatment and Effects: Prescribed medication - Methyltestosterone Acetate Tablets
Help Needed: Please analyze the cause and suggest a treatment plan.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:Recovery of the endometrium after a D&C procedure takes time, and menstruation usually resumes about a month after the procedure. During this period, dietary adjustments are recommended, focusing on regular foods while minimizing fried and foods. It's important to include vegetables, fruits, and plenty of water, engage in outdoor activities to boost immunity, and stay warm.
Additionally, note that testing for mycoplasma has no relation to menstruation. Regarding your endometrium thickness, it should be around 0.9-1.0 cm, not 9-10 cm. Based on your description, your condition is likely due to uterine scraping and endometritis, which can cause delayed menstruation. So, there's no need to worry—the menstrual cycle will return, but the endometrium may not have fully healed yet.
