Patient's question:
Hello, my girlfriend had a medication abortion and her period came 27 days later, but the blood flow is more than one menstrual cycle!! It is also accompanied by dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, and weakness. Is this a normal phenomenon?? How should I take care of her during her period?? First follow-up question: The blood has become much lighter now, but it is still flowing a lot! The main symptoms are headache and discomfort. Should she take medication or get an injection??Doctor's answer:
Generally, menstruation returns to normal about one month after medication abortion. However, menstrual cycle changes may occur after medication abortion. Some women may experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycle lengths, or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) after artificial abortion. This condition usually normalizes within 2 to 3 months, though it may persist longer in some cases. Additionally, ovulation function typically recovers within 22 days, so it is important to be aware of the possibility of pregnancy again.
