What is the reason for less menstrual flow after an induced abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had an abortion last month, and the amount of my menstrual flow this month has become very little. What is the reason for having less menstrual flow after an abortion? How can I take care of it?

Doctor's answer:

You just had an abortion surgery last month. Abortion can cause damage to the endometrium, which may lead to a thinner endometrium and potentially affect hormone levels. As a result, it is easy for menstrual issues to reappear. Your menstrual flow has become significantly lighter this month, which may be related to the abortion surgery. Generally, it takes at least a period of thorough recovery to gradually return to normal. Therefore, you can allow nature to take its course or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation under the guidance of a local doctor.
