I got my period 13 days after having an abortion. What’s going on? Is it normal?

It is generally abnormal to have menstruation 13 days after an abortion. Menstruation usually resumes around 28 to 30 days after the abortion.

After an abortion, progesterone and estrogen need to return to normal in order for the cycle to return to normal. If abnormal bleeding occurs 13 days after an abortion, it is usually not menstruation. You need to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination in time to determine whether there is residual blood in the uterine cavity and whether the uterus has poor contraction. These factors can cause abnormal bleeding. HCG can also be tested to see if it has returned to normal.

According to the specific situation, you can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as Shaofu Zhuyu Capsules, Xinshenghua Granules, Yimucao Capsules, etc. After the abortion, you need to keep your body warm to avoid catching a cold. At the same time, avoid eating irritating and cold foods. You can eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein.
