Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery in March this year, and the recovery has been relatively normal. My period arrived on time in April and was very normal, too. It was also normal in May. However, by the third day of my period in June, after eating two ice creams, it stopped (my cycle is usually 6 days). By July, August, September, October, and even now until November, my period flow has been very light. Throughout the cycle, only the first day and the third day have had a relatively normal amount, while the third, fourth, and fifth days have had only a little—just a few drops like that. What is going on? I’m so worried... What is my situation? Is it due to the abortion, or is there something else?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems likely that the issue is related to low menstrual flow. There are several factors that could contribute to this, such as stress, a busy work schedule, or poor emotional well-being, which may lead to temporary menstrual irregularities. If the menstrual flow remains low for three consecutive months, it may indicate an endocrine disorder. Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur, and during medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
