More than fifty days have passed since the last menstrual period, and it hasn't come. Is it because it wasn't completely expelled?

Patient's question:

Pregnancy was a surprise, because two years before marriage, we hadn't planned to have a child. Since we were both 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 resumes about one month after an abortion. However, due to the influence of hormones in the body after an abortion, temporary menstrual disorders may occur again, such as menstruation coming earlier or later, changes in menstrual flow, etc. 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 arrived, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of the endometrium. Wish you good health!
