Patient's question:
Patient is a 33-year-old female who had an incomplete miscarriage and underwent a D&C procedure. Follow-up at Shanghai Hospital shows that blood clots are still forming.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, menstruation occurs about 40 days later. After a woman undergoes an induced abortion, hormonal changes in the body and damage to the endometrium during the surgery can lead to changes in menstruation for most women postoperatively. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed menstruation, and various other conditions. After such changes occur, menstruation usually gradually returns to normal after about 2-3 cycles.
