Patient's question:
I got pregnant due to work-related reasons, but I couldn't have the child. So, a while ago, I had an abortion. The doctor said that my menstrual cycle would return to normal about a month after the procedure. However, three months have passed, and I still haven't had my period. Why is this? Did I leave behind any aftereffects from the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, it may take 1-3 months for the menstrual cycle to gradually return to normal. Currently, if the menstrual cycle has not returned to normal within about 3 months, it could be due to anemia or other reactions caused by physical weakness after the procedure, leading to menstrual irregularities. Further careful examination and diagnosis are needed. Based on the examination results, nutritional support should be enhanced, and medication to control anemia should be used.
