Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I had a D&C surgery on November 12th, and my period came on December 15th. It was especially heavy, and I also had severe lower back pain. Since then, I've had persistent dull abdominal pain. The hospital said there was nothing wrong, but I'm wondering if there's any medication that can help with prolonged and heavy periods like this? Should it be similar to my previous periods?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition is considered a normal physiological occurrence of menstruation. If you experience increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain, it may be due to an infection caused by the abortion procedure. You can take Chinese motherwort to regulate your body. Generally, symptoms like menstrual cramps will significantly improve after 1-2 cycles. Rest more in bed now and don't worry too much. I wish you good health.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause certain damage to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Post-abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
