Patient's question:
I am 29 years old and got pregnant last August, but started bleeding in October and discovered that the baby had stopped developing. Subsequently, I underwent a general anesthesia induced abortion surgery. However, after the surgery, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Each month, my period starts 2-4 days earlier than the previous month. Additionally, there are 3-7 days of brown discharge before my period, and I can't determine whether it is a small amount of menstruation or bloody leukorrhea. My normal period only lasts for 2 days, followed by 2-3 days of brown discharge. The total duration of brown discharge and menstruation adds up to about 10-15 days. What could be the reason?First follow-up question: Thank you. If it is related to the endometrium
Doctor's answer:
Generally, vaginal bleeding after an abortion stops around 10 days. If brown discharge suddenly appears 30 days after an abortion, it might be a sign that menstruation is approaching. You can wait and see. Most women's menstruation returns about a month after an abortion, so you can further judge based on your previous menstrual cycle. Menstruation may be delayed by a few days, which is normal. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of abortion will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to warmth and avoiding cold water.
