Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, experiencing reduced menstrual flow and dark-colored blood after medication-induced abortion. Had an ultrasound, and the uterus and adnexa 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 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 menstruation for most women postoperatively. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed periods, and various other conditions. If such changes occur, menstruation will gradually return to normal after approximately 2-3 cycles. If the condition persists, it is advisable to seek medical examination at a hospital.
