Patient's question:
I found out I was pregnant two months ago. I didn't go to the hospital for an abortion, so I bought medicine and had a medication abortion. After the medication abortion, my first period was very heavy. On the third day, it was still very heavy. Is it normal for the first period after a medication abortion to be very heavy?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for a miscarriage, the first menstrual period may have a heavier flow, which is also a normal phenomenon. This is because there can be an imbalance in hormones after the medication, and this is a normal occurrence. However, if the menstrual flow remains heavy three months later, it may be due to incomplete recovery after the medication. In such cases, it may be necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough gynecological examination.
