Is it normal to have milk-like fluid from the nipples one month after taking medication for a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

The medication abortion hasn't started her period yet, one month and six days later. Is it normal to have a milky, salty liquid when squeezing the nipples?

Doctor's answer:

After your miscarriage surgery, you may experience temporary menstrual irregularities, which could be related to incomplete recovery of the endocrine system. It is normal to have a very small amount of milk discharge after a miscarriage. If you have no discomfort, you can wait and see. If you do not get your period after three months, you can take progesterone orally to induce menstruation. If you do not plan to get pregnant, it is important to take safe contraceptive measures to prevent an accidental pregnancy. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
