Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery on September 13th, and I had my period on October 18th. However, I haven't had my period this month yet. If it's confirmed that I'm not pregnant, what could be the reason? By the way, because of abnormal vaginal discharge, the doctor prescribed some medication to me last month. After taking it, the discharge stopped, but the itching outside my vagina became worse than before, and I also experienced pain during intercourse. Does this mean there is an infection? Will it affect the arrival of my period? If I need to be tested, when is the best time to do it? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the physiological changes during an induced abortion are actually similar to those of a normal menstrual cycle. Therefore, after an induced abortion, ovulation usually occurs, and menstruation will return to normal. If you do not take precautions to prevent pregnancy after the procedure, there is a possibility of getting pregnant again. Post-abortion can potentially disrupt the endocrine system, leading to menstrual irregularities. However, since you have had sexual activity, there is also a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended that you have a blood test to check for hCG. If you are not pregnant, you can take Wuji Baifeng Pills to regulate your condition.
