Patient's question:
I had an abortion a month ago and have been feeling unwell ever since. I often have lower back pain. Recently, during my period, I experienced mild abdominal pain, and my menstrual flow is dark in color, with less volume and a longer duration. What could be the reason for this? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
This is a normal phenomenon because after a miscarriage, the ovaries typically return to normal function within about one month, and the estrogen levels in the body also return to normal. Estrogen is the primary hormone that regulates menstruation, so it is normal to have a menstrual period about one month after a miscarriage. Only when the ovaries have fully recovered and the estrogen levels in the body reach a certain level will menstruation return to normal!
