Is it normal to have a menstrual period 15 days after surgery?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion surgery about half a month ago, and recently I noticed that I started my period. Is it normal to have my period 15 days after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Half a month ago, I had an induced abortion surgery. Now, I've had my period for 15 days. This is also normal because after a miscarriage, menstruation is irregular for the first three months, sometimes coming earlier and sometimes later. This is related to the hormonal changes in the body after a miscarriage. Due to the depletion of blood, it's recommended to eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, enhance nutrition, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Ensure sufficient deep sleep and rest. If you don't want to have a child recently, make sure to take proper contraceptive measures to prevent multiple miscarriages, which can affect your health.
