Patient's question:
I am forty years old. I had an abortion with anesthesia when I was two months pregnant. It has been over 70 days since then, but my period still hasn't come. Is this situation not normal? What's going on?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is common to experience a temporary absence of menstruation. An abortion can deplete a woman's qi and blood to some extent, leading to qi and blood deficiency, which ultimately results in delayed menstruation. The timing of menstruation is related to a woman's recovery. After an abortion, it is important to avoid overexertion and get plenty of rest to speed up the return of menstruation. Consuming foods that nourish qi and blood can also be beneficial.It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, stay in a positive mood, and avoid stress. Focus on regular bowel movements, consuming nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods, and eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to strengthen the body and boost immunity.
