Patient's question:
Hello! I had an abortion and a cervical erosion surgery on April 23rd, and it's been over a month. I had a one-time sexual activity, and on the third day, I got my period. The flow was quite heavy, and I had some lower abdominal pain. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal for menstrual flow to be slightly heavier in the first two days before your period. Having blood clots is also not abnormal. This is related to the shedding level of the endometrium. If your menstrual flow exceeds 80ml, it is necessary to determine the cause. Long-term menorrhagia may be caused by factors such as infection, endometrial ectopia, uterine fibroids, blood disorders, or functional abnormalities.An ultrasound and a six-item sex hormone test should be conducted to identify the underlying cause and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during your period.
