What if my period didn't come after uterine fibroid surgery?

The absence of menstruation after uterine fibroid surgery may be caused by a variety of reasons, including pregnancy, changes in lifestyle habits, endocrine disorders, etc.

1. Exclude pregnancy: If you have had sex after surgery and have not taken contraceptive measures, you should first consider whether you are pregnant. You can confirm this by using a pregnancy test stick or going to the hospital for a blood HCG test. If you are indeed pregnant, your period will not come naturally.

2. Changes in lifestyle habits: During the recovery period after surgery, changes in lifestyle habits may also affect menstruation. For example, staying up late, lack of rest, excessive stress or environmental changes can cause delayed menstruation. Maintaining good work and rest habits and reducing stress can help normal menstruation.

3. Endometrial thickness: If the endometrium is thick and menstruation does not come on time, you can wait for a while to see if it will come naturally. If it does not come for a long time, you can take oral medication to help menstruation under the doctor's advice.

4. Endocrine disorders: If the endometrium is thin, it may be related to endocrine disorders. At this time, endocrine tests are needed to find the specific cause. Endocrine disorders may be caused by the body's stress response after surgery or other health problems. The doctor will give corresponding treatment recommendations based on the test results.

5. Postoperative recovery period: The body needs some time to recover after surgery. Although uterine fibroid removal surgery does not directly change the endometrium, the overall recovery of the body will also affect the menstrual cycle. Rest more after surgery, follow the doctor's review recommendations, and have regular physical examinations.

6. Other health problems: If you still do not have menstruation after excluding the above reasons, you may need to further check for other potential health problems. For example, abnormal thyroid function, abnormal ovarian function, etc. can also affect the menstrual cycle. The doctor may recommend more blood tests or imaging tests to fully evaluate your health.

The absence of menstruation after uterine fibroid surgery is not necessarily caused by the surgery itself, but may involve many factors. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time, conduct a comprehensive examination, find out the specific cause, listen to the advice of professional doctors, and make corresponding treatments and adjustments. Maintaining a good living habit and mentality will help the body recover fully and menstruate normally.
