Patient's question:
Accidentally got pregnant with my boyfriend, then went to the hospital for an abortion. 43 days after the procedure, my period hasn't come. I took a pregnancy test and it showed that ovulation had arrived. Now I'm really worried about everything. I feel like the surgery wasn't done properly. SOS—What should I do if my period hasn't come 43 days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After artificial abortion, if you haven't had your period for 43 days, it is part of the normal recovery process. Regardless of which method of abortion was used, the uterine lining experiences a direct physical trauma. Post-surgery, it is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If no residual tissue is found, no special treatment is needed. It is important to avoid cold exposure, drink plenty of water, and maintain a positive mindset.
