Patient's question:
I didn't use contraception during sex with my boyfriend, and soon after, I found out I was pregnant. After having an abortion at the hospital, I've been feeling unwell ever since. Recently, I had sex with my boyfriend again, but suddenly stopped getting my period in the second month after the abortion. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
After a woman undergoes an abortion procedure, it has a significant impact on the endometrium. Some women may resume menstruation about a month after the procedure, which is normal. However, others may experience a delay in menstruation for a period of time. This is mainly because the injured endometrium takes longer to recover. In such cases, you should have a follow-up examination at the hospital to check whether the endometrium has recovered properly.
