Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section last December, and my menstruation has always been very light. I also visited a doctor in February this year, who prescribed me Yimucao Blood-Tonifying Granules. It worked for a few days, but then it returned to the same condition. Later, I went to another doctor, who diagnosed me with dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) and prescribed hormones. I started taking them on June 14th and continued for 20 days, stopping on July 3rd. Two days later, on July 5th, my period came. After that, my husband and I used condoms during sexual intercourse, but today is August 7th, and it still hasn't arrived.Doctor's answer:
Hello, functional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as FUB, refers to abnormal uterine bleeding characterized by menstrual disorders, caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-uterine axis rather than by organic lesions in the reproductive tract. First, it is necessary to determine whether you have ovulatory FUB or anovulatory FUB. If it is anovulatory FUB, there is no need to worry; if it is ovulatory FUB, pregnancy generally cannot be achieved for two years after cesarean section, as the uterus is in a state of recovery during this period. A delay of 7 days in menstruation is generally considered normal. In your case, the delay in menstruation may be due to the side effects of medication, and it is recommended to use a test strip to check for pregnancy 7 days after the delay in menstruation.
