Hymen repair surgery, or hymenoplasty, aims to restore the hymen's physical appearance, typically by stitching together remnants or creating a new one using vaginal tissue. While considered safe, it's crucial to understand the procedure's risks and recovery process, as well as its limitations in restoring "virginity"

I had a D&C for a blighted ovum on the 1st of October and here we are a month later on November 1st, and I still haven't gotten my period. My doctor is out of town, so I'm unable to consult her right now. Can I go ahead and take Deviry 10mg to try and induce my periods? I've taken it before based on my doctor's advice. Is it okay to take Deviry a month after a D&C to help start my period?

Wait for a week more ,if its still delayed then visit your docotor for appropriate management.
