Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. Previously, I had sex without protection, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now, I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday, I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. Is it normal not to have a period after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Normal, because after an abortion, there are changes in the body's endocrine system. An abortion can cause harm to the uterus, as repairing the endometrium also requires time. This can lead to menstrual irregularities. However, if the menstrual irregularities persist for a long time, it is best to seek medical diagnosis to rule out any underlying conditions. During treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
