Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a miscarriage, menstruation usually comes around one month later, but it can be earlier or later. After a woman undergoes an induced abortion, hormonal changes in her body and damage to the endometrium during the procedure can lead to changes in menstruation for most women post-surgery. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed periods, and various other changes. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological clinic in the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
