Patient's question:
Last month, my husband and I had sex without taking any precautions, which resulted in me getting pregnant this month. After discussing it with my husband, we decided not to keep the baby. So, we went for an abortion. Is it normal to have my period after half a month post-abortion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Under normal circumstances, there may be some vaginal bleeding after an abortion, lasting for 3 to 5 days. Your period should come around 21 days later. It is usually a normal menstrual cycle. If you have your period in half a month, it could be due to poor endometrial repair or a hormonal fluctuation during ovulation, leading to another episode of spotting. The amount would be light, and the duration would be short. You can choose not to do anything about it or take hemostatic medication and monitor the situation closely.
