Patient's question:
When I was seven months pregnant, the doctor said there were severe deformities. The child's back was elongated, and the blood vessels were abnormally developed. He advised me to have an abortion. Now, 50 days after the abortion, I haven't had my period yet. I want to ask the doctor what's going on. Also, I now always feel like my endocrine system is out of balance.Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual period hasn't arrived more than 50 days after an abortion, you must undergo a color ultrasound examination to check for excessively thin endometrium. Additionally, a hysteroscopy is necessary to assess any adhesions in the uterine cavity. This is because the procedure for abortion involves scraping the uterine lining, which can easily lead to uterine inflammation and cervical adhesions, resulting in absent menstruation. Such conditions can affect future fertility, so a thorough examination is required to confirm the specific situation and provide appropriate treatment.
