Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Any surgery or any other stressful event can cause hormonal imbalance. This would make an irregularity in the cycle. He would take some days to correct or a course of hormones (given by your gynecologist) would correct it.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
