Patient's question:
Female. 20 years old. Had an abortion surgery on September 22. First follow-up on October 6. The doctor said there was fluid accumulation and prescribed medication. Got her period on October 28. Went to the hospital for a follow-up on November 11. Found a right adnexal cyst, measuring 5.03.5mm. The doctor asked for a follow-up after her next period. She hasn't had her period yet. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual period after a miscarriage usually comes around 28 days after the procedure. However, many women may experience amenorrhea due to various reasons such as recovery from natural miscarriage, psychological stress, uterine healing, and more. Some may delay their period by a few days, while others may delay it by several months. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take some medication to regulate your body. Rest well and ensure you get adequate nutrition.After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then gradually increase your activity level. Within the first half month after the procedure, avoid heavy physical labor and cold-water work, and avoid getting cold. Eat more fish, meat, eggs, and soy products.
