Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly. My husband and I haven't been ready for a child yet. Last month, I had an abortion surgery. Last month, my period was delayed, and it came after ten days. The amount of blood was not normal, and the doctor said to wait and see next month. This month, my period came again. What should I do about the reduced amount of blood after the abortion? Please help me find an answer from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
I don't know to what extent your menstrual flow is reduced. Some cases of reduced menstrual flow are due to normal physiological conditions, while others are caused by adhesions between the cervix and uterine cavity. Therefore, if you feel that your menstrual flow has changed significantly compared to before, I recommend that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Through a careful ultrasound check, you will know what treatment you need. If the reduced menstrual flow is caused by endocrine disorders, you can take oral medication such as {yao-Premarin- and progesterone. If the reduced menstrual flow is caused by uterine adhesions, surgery is required.
