Patient's question:
My friend had an abortion surgery in December 2010, but by February 2011, she still hadn't gotten her period. She had had one instance of sexual intercourse without taking any precautions and wanted to consult if she might be pregnant. How long does it usually take for a woman to get her period after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Generally, there won't be any impact! It usually takes about 20 days. Depending on individual constitution and the extent of damage to the uterine lining during the D&C procedure, some people may take longer to fully recover, as the uterus needs more time to self-repair. However, it typically extends to about 2 months. If it hasn't returned for a long time, it's best to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up! Since the endometrium is traumatized mentally after a miscarriage, it requires a long period of thorough recovery.
