Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 25 years old and accidentally got pregnant. I had an abortion without anesthesia 20 days ago. Now I have my period. I would like to ask if it is normal to have a period 20 days after an abortion? I am a bit worried about potential aftereffects! If it is normal, please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is normal for menstruation to occur 20 or more days after an abortion. I suggest you do not worry, as menstruation usually comes back around a month after an abortion, which is normal. Carefully observe the amount of menstrual flow and the duration. If everything is fine, then continue to monitor closely. Pay attention to taking proper contraceptive measures, as frequent abortions can cause significant harm to the uterus. During menstruation, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
