What should I do if I have less menstrual periods after surgery?

Patient's question:

On April 3rd, I had an abortion surgery. On April 30th, I had my period, but the flow was extremely light. My period didn't come in May, and I took progesterone capsules for three days. Today, there's a little bit of blood.

Doctor's answer:

Reasons for reduced menstrual flow after painless abortion, a few are due to incomplete scraping, with residual placenta or other tissues leading to amenorrhea or reduced menstruation, which can return to normal after a second scraping to remove the residue. During the painless abortion procedure, the cervical endometrium or endometrium may be damaged during the scraping, resulting in adhesion after surgery. The painless abortion process can cause certain degrees of damage to a woman's uterus and ovaries, making it difficult for them to recover within a short period of time. Delayed menstruation and reduced menstrual flow after painless abortion are both due to this reason.
