Patient's question:
Last month, I carefully confirmed a one-week pregnancy and underwent an abortion, which was medication-induced. The doctor told me that usually, menstruation would return about a month after the procedure. It has been nearly two months since the surgery, but I still haven't had my period. Additionally, I've been experiencing mild abdominal pain these past few days. What should I do if I haven't had my period after medication-induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Because medication abortion can be equivalent to one menstrual period, after medication abortion, most women should have a normal menstrual period one month later. It has now been almost two months since your last period, which could be a sign of menstrual irregularities. It could also be that no follow-up examination was conducted after medication abortion, and the embryo is developing normally, leading to this situation. In this case, the first step is to have a B examination to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If it is confirmed that this is not the cause and there are no remnants in the uterine cavity, treatment for menstrual regulation can be considered.
