Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old woman with a molar pregnancy. I go for regular and thorough check-ups every month, and the levels are gradually decreasing. My last check-up was on the 24th. I had an abortion on August 28th, and then my period arrived on September 17th. After that, I had sexual intercourse. Then, on October 12th, I had my period again. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
You experienced your first menstrual cycle relief and recovery on September 17th, and your second menstrual cycle on October 12th. Therefore, your cycle length is 25 days, which is within the normal range.Within six months after a molar pregnancy surgery, it is essential to strictly follow medical advice for follow-up examinations. These examinations should include a gynecological examination, pelvic ultrasound, and hCG testing. Based on your current condition, if it is a partial molar pregnancy, follow-up monitoring will still be necessary in the later stages.
Of course, a menstrual cycle that starts a week earlier sometimes falls within the relatively normal fluctuation range. Later on, it is important to pay close attention and monitor the amount of menstrual flow and the duration of the cycle.
