Patient's question:
Please help me translate the following content into English, where " does not need to be translated and should be returned as is. All other Chinese text should be translated into English:I'm asking because my first menstrual period after an abortion has already lasted for 8 days. Although the amount has been very light over the past two days, there is still some blood. Is this normal? If it's not normal, what conditions could it be? I had a check-up two weeks after the abortion, and the doctor only mentioned mild endometritis and prescribed medication, saying everything else was fine. But now I'm bleeding all the time. I'm very worried...
Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, menstruation usually occurs about 40 days later. Due to changes in hormone levels and damage to the endometrium during the procedure, most women experience changes in their menstrual cycle after an abortion. Some may have an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may experience delayed periods, and various other changes. It typically takes about 2-3 cycles for the menstrual cycle to gradually return to normal. If this occurs, you can wait and see what happens, but if the situation is severe, it’s best to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Additionally, if menstrual irregularities persist for a long time, it’s advisable to have medical examinations at the hospital.
