Patient's question:
Hello Doctor,Regarding the issue I mentioned last time about not having my period, I followed your advice and went to the hospital. I received three injections of progesterone and was also prescribed two boxes of Kunling Pill (the doctor said it promotes blood circulation and resolves stagnation). It’s been three days since the injections, and my period hasn’t arrived yet. However, I’ve been experiencing occasional mild lower abdominal pain recently. I’d like to ask, how many days after receiving progesterone injections is it usual to get your period? Is it abnormal if it doesn’t arrive after more than a week?
Thank you for your reply.
Doctor's answer:
Considering that the short duration of menstrual bleeding is more likely to be influenced by factors such as thin endometrium or low estrogen levels, it is important to rest. It is recommended to observe whether there is any abdominal pain or discomfort. For the time being, it is advisable to choose a blood-activating herbal supplement like Guizhi Fuling Capsule to help regulate the menstrual cycle. However, avoid spicy foods. It is also beneficial to choose nourishing foods while avoiding exposure to cold. Generally, maintaining warmth and hydration is sufficient. Avoid strenuous physical activity.
