Patient's question:
I am an unmarried pregnant woman. I just started working two years ago and now I can't even support myself. Suddenly, I had a child, and the pressure was too much, so I went to the hospital to have a medication abortion. It's been a month since then, and my period still hasn't come. What could be the reason for not having a period after an abortion? What should I eat to restore my health?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, if there is no menstrual period and no discomfort symptoms, special treatment may not be necessary for the time being. About one month after medication abortion, the body's uterus and endometrium can return to normal, and the ovaries can resume menopause, allowing for normal menstruation. Since medication abortion is used, the medication can cause menstrual irregularities. Generally, after a miscarriage, hormone excretion can return to normal around three months, allowing for normal menstruation. If there are no other discomforts, it can be temporarily carefully observed.
