Patient's question:
Last month, I accidentally got pregnant and my boyfriend had an abortion. Everything has been fine ever since, but this month I noticed that my period hasn't arrived. I can't possibly be pregnant again, because we haven't had any sexual intercourse at all. I'm a bit worried. What should I do if my period doesn't come after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you don't have any discomfort after the flow, you need to have a follow-up checkup once a week. If there is no residual in the uterus and no postoperative infection, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed by 7-10 days. Menstrual delay is related to diet, medication, and mental stress. Rest well in the near future. If it is later than the expected time, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup with a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages (you need to have a full bladder with urine retention). After that, you can use menstrual treatment medication under the guidance of a doctor.
