Patient's question:
It was my first time having an abortion, and I was 10 weeks pregnant at the time. However, after the procedure, my menstrual flow became less and the color was white. I don't know if it was affected by the surgery. At the time, I decided to go through with it, and it took a whole month to fully recover. So, in this case, should I just wait for it to recover on its own, or should I get checked?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, if the menstrual blood is dark in color and the menstrual flow is reduced, common causes include thin endometrium, blood stasis, cold exposure, anemia, endocrine disorders, etc. It is recommended to take blood-activating and period-regulating medications for menstrual regulation. Avoid consuming excessively cold and irritating foods. A diet based on easily digestible soft foods is advisable, and eating iron-rich foods can help replenish iron. Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
