Patient's question:
Why haven't I had my period after an abortion? It's been over 40 days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of this gonadal axis, leading to menstrual disorders. A delay or advancement of about one week in the menstrual cycle is considered normal. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 10 days, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department in a hospital for appropriate examinations to confirm the diagnosis. Pay timely attention to your physical condition. If severe menstrual disorders are detected, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly at a reputable and professional hospital. When choosing a hospital, it is advisable to consider tertiary hospitals, as they often have more comprehensive equipment and experienced specialists. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
