What are the reasons for excessive menstrual flow after abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? How can it be less harmful? What are the reasons for heavy menstrual bleeding after the first abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after a female has a postpartum abortion, due to changes in hormone levels and damage to the endometrium during the surgery, most women's menstrual cycles will change. Some may experience an increase in menstrual flow, some a decrease, some delayed periods, and various other conditions. After such changes occur, it usually takes about 2-3 cycles for the menstrual cycle to gradually return to normal.
