Patient's question:
After a clean miscarriage for half a month, I went for a follow-up check and found bacterial vaginosis. The doctor prescribed medication and I didn't go for another check-up. Now I still have a little itching, and I haven't had my period yet. How long after medication abortion is it normal to have a period?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, the ovaries generally recover completely from menopausal function within 22 days, and menstruation usually returns approximately one month later. However, a very small number of women may experience menstrual irregularities such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after a miscarriage. This condition typically normalizes within 2-3 months, though some may take longer. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a follow-up examination, pay attention to rest, and carefully monitor your condition. It should return soon—don’t worry too much.In addition, during the treatment of gynecological conditions, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient’s dietary status and mental state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of gynecological health.
