Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had an abortion, and since then, my period hasn't come. I'm very worried that it wasn't clean during the abortion or something like that. How long does it usually take for the period to return to normal? It's been eleven days since I had the abortion, and my period still hasn't come. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is that after undergoing an abortion procedure, menstruation has not yet arrived. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally, menstruation will return about a month later. At this point, it has been about 11 days, which should be around the time of menopause. Therefore, it is unnecessary to worry excessively at this stage. However, after an abortion, it is necessary to have a follow-up ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages to ensure that there is no residual tissue remaining, which is a safer and more effective way to fully recover.
