Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. The last time I had sex with my boyfriend, we didn't use protection, and now I am pregnant. However, I don't want this child. I am planning to have an abortion. Could you please explain why my menstrual flow might increase after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
First, you need to be aware that it is normal for a small number of patients to experience a sudden increase in menstrual flow after an induced abortion. This is because induced abortion is an invasive procedure, which may lead to endometrial damage, resulting in a temporary increase in menstrual flow. In addition to this, hormonal changes in the body can also cause an increase in menstrual flow. In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
