Patient's question:
Hello, I want to ask if I had an abortion last month, and I haven't finished my period for 10 days this month. It's not much, but what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-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. The menstrual period generally lasts about 3 to 7 days. It is normal for menstruation to be delayed or advanced by about one week. If menstruation is delayed by more than 10 days, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for appropriate examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
