Patient's question:
Hello, is my situation normal after an abortion?？？？I had an abortion on the 10th of the 10th month, and my period came on the 6th of August. It ended on the 12th, and about 4-5 days after it stopped, I had brown discharge. Sometimes it came with yellowish fluid. The first four days of my period were heavier than usual. I want to ask if it's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? Is this situation normal?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, where menstruation changes after an induced abortion, it is recommended to visit a doctor for a pelvic MRI to check for inflammation or cervical damage. After an induced abortion, it is usually necessary to receive preventive anti-inflammatory treatment for 1-2 weeks to prevent a retrograde infection from occurring again. I don't know how much treatment you have undergone. Since you are experiencing symptoms again, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and diagnosis to avoid affecting future fertility.
