Patient's question:
I got pregnant last July. When I was 6 months pregnant, I had a thorough check-up and found that the baby was not developing properly. So, I underwent an abortion. It wasn't until a year after the abortion that I got my period. However, my period was very abnormal—every time I had it, I experienced severe abdominal pain and it never came out completely clean. Hello, how can I take care of myself when my period is abnormal after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Abortion leads to irregular menstruation, which is caused by the damage to the body resulting from the abortion procedure. You can take sufficient medication under the guidance of a doctor to help regulate your condition. During menstruation, it is essential to pay close attention to preventing cold exposure. Avoid cold water and extremely cold foods. Rest more and avoid strenuous activities.Additionally, there should be a gap of three months or more after an abortion before attempting to conceive again. Before conception, it is crucial to undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital.
