Patient's question:
A colleague of mine just had an abortion surgery last month at the end of the month. Today, she told me that her skin is peeling and the amount is a bit heavy. A few days after the surgery, there was some peeling, but it disappeared after a few more days. Doctor, if her skin peels again 10 days after the abortion, is it her period?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, if there is bleeding again after ten days, it is unlikely to be the menstrual period, as menstruation would not recover so quickly. The main reasons for the recurrence of bleeding are incomplete miscarriage or gynecological inflammation. An ultrasound examination can be used to confirm whether it is incomplete miscarriage. If it is caused by incomplete miscarriage, a surgical procedure to clear the uterine cavity may be necessary, along with oral administration of motherwort and anti-inflammatory medication.
