Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant before, and since I didn't want the child, I went to the hospital to have a medication abortion. Now, my menstrual cycle is not regular every month—it's either a few days earlier or a few days later. I don't know if it's because of the medication abortion that caused my irregular period?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, taking oral medication for miscarriage or after surgery may lead to delayed menstruation. If this occurs, it is normal. Post-medication abortion may affect the body's sexual hormone levels, causing irregular menstrual cycles. If your menstrual cycle is still irregular, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to determine the specific condition of your uterine appendages. If necessary, oral medication may be prescribed to regulate your menstrual cycle.For gynecological conditions, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. During treatment, hygiene should be maintained, and the private area should always be kept clean.
