Patient's question:
During the summer, I had an abortion, specifically a painless one. After the procedure, I received intravenous drips for three days to prevent infection. After that, I didn't feel much, but later my menstrual cycle became longer. It's been 40 days and I haven't gotten my period yet. Why is this happening? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
About a month after general, menstruation usually returns to normal. However, menstrual cycle changes may occur again after. A very small number of women may experience prolonged menstrual periods, irregular cycle lengths, or amenorrhea (menstrual disorders) after artificial abortion. This condition generally normalizes within 2 to 3 months, though for some, the duration may be longer. Additionally, it typically takes about 22 days to fully restore menopausal function, so it's important to be aware of the possibility of pregnancy again.It's also necessary to pay attention to post recovery. The uterus needs about a month to heal after. During this period, it's important to enhance nutrition and consume sufficient protein.
