Patient's question:
Doctor, I had my first abortion 28 days ago and came for a follow-up check-up when my period arrived. The doctor said my endometrium was thin, but everything else was fine. I took the medication prescribed by the doctor on time, but my period hasn't arrived yet after 20 days. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal menstrual period usually lasts 3-7 days. Endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, abnormal endometrium, fatigue, and exposure to cold can all cause prolonged bleeding. It is recommended to undergo tests for the six sex hormones and ultrasound after the bleeding stops to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Hemostatic drugs may be used if necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
