Patient's question:
Two months ago I got pregnant, and our whole family was very happy, but for some reason the child didn't survive. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said it was a natural miscarriage. I don't know when my period should come, and I'd like to ask when is the period supposed to come after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after a natural miscarriage, menstruation usually takes about 40 days to return. However, the exact time of its return cannot be confirmed—it varies without absolute certainty. Some people experience it earlier, while others take longer, as it can be influenced by many factors such as endocrine hormone levels, personal psychological emotions, dietary nutrition, lifestyle, and more. If menstruation has not returned after two months, it is also advisable to visit a hospital for an ultrasound, sex hormone six-item test, and other examinations. Under the guidance of a doctor, you may consider taking various menstrual regulation and induction medications.
