Patient's question:
I had my period on the 20th, but I got acute gastroenteritis on the exact same day this month and didn't recover until the 26th. Now I have some bloating in my lower abdomen and occasional pain, but my period still hasn't come. I'm currently married. Is there a connection between gastritis and irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
There is a certain relationship. Acute gastroenteritis can affect physical condition and may lead to endocrine disorders, causing delayed menstruation. If you are not pregnant, it is likely caused by gastroenteritis, but it could also be influenced by the medications you have taken. It is recommended that you rest and avoid overexertion in the near future, and your condition will return to normal after some time. Additionally, during the treatment for gastroenteritis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
