General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for thquery. I understand your concern.
Abortion is likely to be followed by hormonal imbalance/weakness which lead to irregular periods.
Conception is another cause ... common in child bearing age.
Start with high protein diet with iron,calcium &multivitamine suppliment.
Wait for period to come naturally for few weeks./Repeat pregnancy test if no periods in 15 days...Consult a gynecologist for physical examination &few needful investigations to exclude other hormonal causes of irregular periods.... If no other cause found you would be advised a short course of oral contraceptive to induce the period. ..which is mant a times followed by 3 cyclical courses of oral contraceptives.This would correct your menstrual cycle.
Thanks.
