Patient's question:
After a painless abortion, I had a negative ultrasound and normal vaginal discharge on days 7 and 21. I took Ursi for a month and Mifepristone capsules. On day 28, I had my period, which was much heavier than usual, and the menstrual cramps were also more severe than before. I experienced intense pain, and the flow was mostly dark red blood clots and small pieces of blood. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, after a surgery, the first menstrual period may expel residual materials from the uterine cavity, which can lead to symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding. This is considered normal. It is recommended to rest well, avoid overexertion, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid catching a cold, and allow your body to recover gradually. The menstrual period will gradually return to normal. If there is excessive bleeding or if it interferes with your training and daily life, it is advisable to consult a hospital for a follow-up examination.
