Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion and her second period was particularly heavy. Is it normal for the second period after an abortion to be so heavy?Doctor's answer:
The second menstrual flow after an abortion is a normal phenomenon, as the endometrium is damaged during the procedure. Therefore, the menstrual flow may increase again during the first period, which is a normal response for everyone. The next menstrual flow will return to normal, so there is no need to worry. This is not caused by other factors; it is a normal occurrence. If you want to have a baby, you should wait at least one year, as the uterus needs time to recover.
