Patient's question:
After taking medication for a miscarriage, my first period lasted for a whole month before stopping. Now, I'm experiencing some bloating, similar to how I felt during my previous period. Is this the start of my second period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be inflammation triggered by post-abortion. Since the gestational sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be expelled on the same day after medication abortion, sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely expelled, the uterine lining fails to regenerate well, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time,2-3，even up to 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can lead to anemia and weaken the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often from the vagina and cause various discomforting symptoms. It is recommended that you visit another regular hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause before receiving targeted treatment.
