Patient's question:
A few months ago, I had an abortion and lost a child. After the procedure, I noticed that my menstrual cycle was off. Sometimes I get my period twice a month, and other times it's every two months. Additionally, when I do get my period, it lasts longer than usual. Previously, my period was about five days long, but now it extends to seven or eight days. What could be causing abnormal menstruation after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Due to the damage caused by traffic accidents or poor postoperative physical recovery, it may affect ovarian function, leading to menstrual irregularities. Based on your current condition, your menstrual cycle is irregular, and the duration of your periods is also significantly shortened, which is abnormal. It is necessary to visit a gynecology department for a thorough examination. If there are no abnormalities, you can consider taking progesterone orally on a cyclical basis or short-acting birth control pills under the guidance of a doctor to regulate your cycle.
