Is it normal not to have a menstrual period for a month after having sex?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old. The last time I had sex with my boyfriend, we didn't use protection, and now I am pregnant. However, I don't want this child. I am planning to have an abortion. Is it normal not to have a menstrual period one month after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After the general crowd, it is estimated that menstruation will return about one month later. However, if it doesn't, there is no need to worry too much. It may be due to incomplete recovery of the endometrium or interference with the endocrine system by the ovaries. But if menstruation does not return after 40-50 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and drinking, and increase daily exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
