Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, experiencing reduced menstrual flow after medication-induced abortion, with dark-colored blood. Had an ultrasound, and the uterus and appendages were normal. Visited the hospital, where the doctor prescribed medication for 22 days. On the last five days of the medication, I received an injection of progesterone. I have been taking this medication for two months, but the effect is not very significant. Additionally, I am very eager to have a child now. What could be the reason for my abnormal menstruation, and how should I treat it? I am very anxious and afraid of not being able to have children in the future.First follow-up question: I had the medication-induced abortion two years ago. I would like to ask the chief physician for an answer. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
After a woman undergoes an induced abortion, hormonal changes in her body and damage to the endometrium during the surgery can lead to changes in most women's menstrual cycles postoperatively. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed menstruation, and various other conditions.In such cases, the menstrual cycle typically returns to normal gradually after about 2-3 cycles. If the abnormality persists, it is advisable to seek medical examination at a hospital.
