Kadangkala 7-8 hari, dan mungkin juga 4-5 hari, dan ada yang belarutan hingga lebih 10hari dan yang abnormal akan perlu rujuk pada doktor. Adakah puan sedang mengambil contraceptive? Ia juga akan memain peranan kepada mentrual puan. Puan boleh rujuk kepada doktor pakar, tiada isu yang serius di sini. Ya betul, kitaran haid yang tidak menentu merupakan salah satu tanda masalah PCOS. Puan perlulah monitor kitaran haid puan setiap bulan dan kelainan lain yang mungkin puan dapati. Jika ada tanda-tanda PCOS, puan boleh rujuk kepada pakar sakit puan. Sebagai langkah awal, puan perlu amalkan pemakanan sihat, gaya hidup yang sihat dan bersenam.

Hello, salam sejahtera, terima kasih atas soalan anda, maaf diatas kelewatan membalas soalan puan. Saya cadangkan puan buat follow up di klinik kesihatan berhampiran atau pakar sakit puan, kerana terlalu awal untuk mengdiagnos sama ada puan mengalami PCOS atau tidak, kerana puan baru sahaja 2bulan melahirkan anak. Mungkin ada gangguan lain, saya syorkan puan dapatkan pemeriksaan segera. Terima kasih
