Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery, and it's been almost 35 days since then, but my period hasn't come yet. My periods used to be very regular, coming around every 30 days. I want to ask if this is related to the abortion. How long after an abortion is it common for the period to return?Doctor's answer:
The timing of menstruation after an induced abortion varies depending on individual pregnancy duration and physical constitution. Generally, menstruation resumes around the second cycle after an induced abortion. In some cases, due to hormonal changes in the body caused by the procedure, menopause may be delayed, leading to a corresponding delay in menstruation. Typically, the body fully recovers about 40 days after an induced abortion.
