What should I do if I don't get my period after taking out the IUD and undergoing a D&C?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Menstruation started on July 1st and has not ended by July 11th. After visiting the hospital, a loop removal and diagnostic curettage were performed. As of today (August 13th), menstruation has still not occurred. Please ask for the reason. Thank you.
Age: 46
Previous Treatment and Effect: The doctor prescribed Methyltestosterone Tablets.
Help Needed: Please analyze the cause and suggest a treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The recovery of the endometrium after a D&C procedure takes time, and menstruation usually occurs about a month after the procedure. During this period, dietary adjustments can be made, with a focus on regular foods, avoiding fried and irritating foods. It is important to supplement with vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, engage in outdoor exercise to boost immunity, and pay attention to keeping warm. Additionally, note that testing for mycoplasma has no relation to menstruation. Regarding your endometrium, it is 0.9-1.0 cm, not 9-10 cm. Based on your description, your condition falls under delayed menstruation caused by uterine scraping and endometritis. Therefore, there is no need to worry—menstruation will come, but the endometrium may not have fully healed yet.
