Patient's question:
I had an abortion two months ago, and after a month, my period came normally, but the amount was very light, the color was bright red, and there were some blood clots. Before the abortion, my period usually lasted for about a week. This time, it only lasted for two days. I had my period again this month, and it was still very light. I only used two pads to finish it.Doctor's answer:
Hello. A reduced menstrual flow after an abortion is a very normal phenomenon. Because an abortion can cause damage to the endometrium, and if it's a D&C procedure, it makes the endometrium even thinner. After an abortion, it's important to take some endometrium-repairing medication. Because abortion causes significant harm to the body, it's crucial to properly nourish yourself, especially regarding blood. Both dietary supplements and herbal remedies are very important.
