Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently found out that I am pregnant. However, I currently do not want a child and am planning to have a painless abortion. I was wondering what to do if my menstrual cycle is irregular after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
Having an abortion can cause significant harm to the body. It is best to avoid it if possible, but if it is necessary, make sure to go to a reputable hospital. After an abortion, the endocrine system may become disrupted, and it may take three to six months for everything to return to normal. There is no need to worry too much about this. If menstruation is still irregular six months later, it is recommended to see a doctor and use traditional Chinese medicine for (regulating and nurturing the body). Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
