What is the reason for no menstrual blood for half a month after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain why I haven't had my period for half a month after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

An induced abortion is also a process similar to a natural delivery. This means your endometrium also needs time to rest, and your menstrual cycle won't return so quickly. So you don't need to worry too much. Pay attention to the hygiene of your perineum, get plenty of rest, and ensure you are well-nourished. You can start with supportive treatment, such as traditional Chinese medicine or progesterone injections. If an incomplete miscarriage occurs, a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be performed to terminate the pregnancy. Regular follow-up is important, and if any abnormalities are found, treatment should be started promptly.
