Patient's question:
Doctor, I just had an abortion about a week ago, and I haven't had any aftereffects. My body is also fine. But I noticed once that my nipple has changed a bit, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the abortion. What kind of changes can occur in the nipple after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. After pregnancy, due to the reasons of hormone excretion in the body, women's areolas may shrink and darken in color. This is related to pigmentation, and it has nothing to do with induced abortion surgery. It is recommended that you don't need to worry too much. You can have a detailed ultrasound examination in the two weeks after the induced abortion surgery to check if there is any residual endometrium. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual activity within one month after the induced abortion, and it is necessary to maintain external genital hygiene and change underwear frequently.
