Patient's question:
My cousin from the next door and her boyfriend are about to get married. A few weeks ago, she secretly had an abortion without telling her family. It's been almost a month since the surgery, and she hasn't had her period yet. She's a bit worried and scared, so she wanted to ask you, when can the menstrual cycle return to normal after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion surgery, menstruation usually occurs around 35 to 40 days. If menstruation has not arrived by 40 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to carefully observe the condition of the endometrium and use progesterone and other drugs for menstrual regulation treatment.Abortion surgery can affect the normal endocrine hormone levels. Generally, after the surgery, it is necessary to take short-term birth control pills for menstrual regulation treatment for 3 to 6 months to help restore the normal menstrual cycle.
In daily life, it is also important to consume more high-quality protein and other nutritious foods.
