How long does it take for menstruation to return after an abortion without pain?

Patient's question:

I have had an abortion with anesthesia for a month, but I still haven't had my period. I'm very worried about what might be wrong. How long does it take to have a period after an abortion with anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, menstruation resumes about one month after an abortion. However, a very small number of patients may experience prolonged menstruation or irregular cycles after the procedure, which usually returns to normal within 2-3 months. Therefore, each patient is different. The bleeding typically does not last more than two weeks, and regular follow-up tests are necessary.
Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
