However, after a miscarriage, the abnormal symptoms reappeared.

Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is 22 to 35 days, the period lasts 3 to 7 days, and the menstrual flow is 20 to 120 ML, appearing dark red. If it is outside this normal range, it is considered menstrual disorder. Conditions such as uterine diseases, ovarian, pituitary, or hypothalamic endocrine dysfunction can all lead to menstrual disorders. Emotions, medications, diet, stress, environment, and endocrine dysfunction are also factors that can cause menstrual disorders. Your current condition is likely primarily due to damage to the endometrium caused by an induced abortion, resulting in reduced menstrual flow. For your situation, it is recommended to first visit a hospital for relevant gynecological examinations, such as ultrasound and endocrine tests, and then treat the symptoms accordingly based on the specific findings.
