Patient's question:
I experienced bleeding for about a week after the 11/15, and 10 days later, a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital showed a normal uterus. However, this morning I had a small amount of brown discharge without abdominal pain. I don't know what could be the reason. After reading the experts' information on the three types of bleeding, I wanted to ask if it could be ovulation bleeding.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after an abortion without anesthesia, the ovaries can restore ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation usually returns approximately one month later. However, a small number of women may experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after an abortion without anesthesia. This condition typically normalizes within 2–3 months, but for some, the duration may be longer, requiring regular follow-up. It is important to note that if menstruation does not return within 50 days, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if symptoms such as fever, pain, excessive vaginal discharge with an odor appear after an abortion without anesthesia, immediate medical evaluation and treatment at a professional gynecological hospital are required.
