Patient's question:
Previously, because I didn't want children, I had an abortion. Now, 5 days after the abortion, my period hasn't come. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
After a normal surgery, menstruation usually occurs around 30 to 40 days later. Due to the rapid withdrawal of hormone levels in the body, a delay of up to one week before or after the expected period is considered normal, and there is no need to worry. In the first week after the surgery, there may be mild bleeding. You can first observe carefully and take preventive measures against infection. Taking some antibiotics, eating less spicy and irritating food, and getting adequate rest are recommended.
