Patient's question:
Pregnancy was a surprise, because two years before getting married, we hadn't planned to have a child. Since both of us were very busy with work, we had an abortion. But after the procedure, my period didn't come for more than fifty days, and I was very worried. Was it possible that the hospital didn't clean it out properly during the surgery?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you explained, generally menstruation will return about a month after the abortion. However, due to the influence of hormones in the body after the abortion, there may be a temporary menstrual disorder, such as the menstrual period coming earlier or later, or changes in the amount of menstrual flow. Usually, it will return to normal after 3 months post-surgery. If you haven't had sexual activity after the abortion and pregnancy is ruled out, you can wait a few more days for careful observation. If it still hasn't come, you will need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of the endometrium. Wish you good health!
