Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery on National Day No. 1. My period arrived around October 28th, and it came again a few days ago, on the 19th. The problem is that although it arrived, the flow is very little. The first time it lasted for two days, and this time it only lasted for more than one day and then stopped. During this period, I have been taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, which is Motherwort and Reishi Capsules. It seems to be trending towards amenorrhea. What kind of medicine should I take in this situation?First follow-up question: What should I do in this situation? How should I observe it?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, this situation is caused by intrauterine adhesions after childbirth, leading to amenorrhea. Amenorrhea refers to the cessation of menstruation for 6 months or 3 cycles after menarche. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is 1 cm thick, you can take Mifepristone (Acetate) once a day, 10 mg (5 tablets) each time, for 5 consecutive days, then stop taking the medication. Menstruation should occur within 3-10 days.
