Patient's question:
After medication abortion, there was blood accumulation, and then on December 5th, a D&C procedure was performed. Later during a follow-up examination, it was found that there was a cyst approximately 4.9x3.7cm in the left adnexa. On December 29th, menstruation occurred with a very heavy flow. Starting from December 30th, Gongxuening was taken. In the past few days, it has been relatively normal during the day, but there has been a very heavy flow during sleep. A hospital examination revealed normal urinalysis and HCG results (indicating the menstrual period). Is this related to the D&C or the cyst? What should be done? An urgent response is needed. 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 periods, and various other conditions. If such changes occur, menstrual cycles will gradually return to normal after approximately 2-3 cycles. Further observation is recommended, and if menstrual abnormalities persist, medical examination at a hospital is advised.
