Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a dilation and curettage last month. It is nearly five weeks now since I did not get my period. What should I do now? What could be the reason?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is common for women to experience changes in their menstrual cycle after a dilation and curettage procedure. It may take several weeks for the body to recover from the procedure and for the menstrual cycle to return to its normal pattern. However, if you have not had a period five weeks after the procedure, you should go for an ultrasound abdomen and routine tests like CBC (complete blood count), and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Some possible reasons for a delayed period after dilation and curettage include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, stress, or pregnancy.
Kindly revert for further queries.
Thank you.
