Patient's question:
I went for a D&C after taking the medication last time, and now my period is very infrequent. What could be the reason for reduced menstrual flow after the D&C?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, the current low menstrual flow is related to both the medication abortion and the D&C procedure. The D&C can damage the endometrium and interfere with its thickening, making it more prone to recurring low menstrual flow. Pay attention, as low menstrual flow caused by miscarriage and D&C should be carefully monitored first. It is recommended not to be overly anxious, as it generally improves with proper care. The menstrual cycle is primarily regulated by the endocrine system. If the menstrual flow remains low for more than a year, hormone tests (including six key hormones) and a gynecological ultrasound should be conducted for a thorough examination.
