Patient's question:
I took medication for a miscarriage 19 days ago, and my period lasted only one day and then stopped. Five days later, it came again for one day but was very light. Occasionally, I experience pain on the left side of my abdomen. Does this mean it wasn't completely passed? I took the medication on the 14th of last month, and my period was supposed to come on the 15th, but it hasn't arrived yet.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it takes about one month after a miscarriage for menstruation to return. However, the hormone levels in the body have not fully returned to normal after a miscarriage. It is also normal for some women to experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or excessive or insufficient menstrual flow after a miscarriage. This condition usually returns to normal within 2-3 months after the miscarriage. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
