Patient's question:
I had an abortion procedure with anesthesia on April 22nd at 4 PM. It has been a full month since then (up to May 22nd), and I haven't had my period yet. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are generally two reasons for a delayed menstrual period. The first is pregnancy, in which case you should test again with morning urine about a week after the expected period. The second is menstrual irregularity.A period that is early or delayed by one week is considered normal. If it doesn't arrive for more than 10 days or longer, and pregnancy is ruled out, it should be considered menstrual irregularity, and an endocrine examination is needed to identify the cause.
