Is it normal to have a menstrual period twelve days after ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Patient's question:

After giving birth via cesarean section for one year and three months, should I choose medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If you get pregnant unexpectedly, you can choose medication abortion or surgical abortion. Medication abortion is generally suitable for pregnancies within 49 days. However, it has significant side effects. The best time for a painless surgical abortion is between 35 and 60 days. The estimation of pregnancy duration starts from the first day of the last menstrual period. The earlier the surgery, the less harm it will cause to the body. One week before the artificial abortion, sexual activity should be avoided. The day before the surgery, take a bath, change clothes, and prevent catching a cold or a flu. On the day of the surgery, fasting and dehydration are required. If your body temperature is below 37.5°C, the surgery should be rescheduled for another day. During the surgery, it is important to cooperate closely with the doctor and not to be overly nervous.
