Patient's question:
Hello Director, I had an abortion without anesthesia a few days ago and am resting at home. I'm bleeding a little, but my lower back hurts a lot. I went out for a walk yesterday and came back with a very bad headache. I'd like to try some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body, but I don't know if it will be effective.Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, menstruation usually occurs within 30-45 days, as each person's hormonal regulation is different.Recommendation: Some may experience a delay of a few days in menstruation. However, if it exceeds 45 days, an ultrasound examination is necessary to check the thickness of the endometrium. It is recommended to wait for two more days, and if menstruation still does not occur, undergo an ultrasound to examine the endometrial thickness. Progesterone can be administered to induce menstruation. On the 2-4th day of menstruation, blood tests should be conducted to check the six hormones to confirm any hormonal abnormalities. If there is any endocrine disorder, traditional Chinese medicine regulation is necessary. Otherwise, irregular menstruation may occur after a miscarriage.
