Patient's question:
Two months ago, I was with my boyfriend, but because I didn't take proper contraceptive measures, I accidentally got pregnant. Where I live, getting pregnant before marriage is considered very shameful, so I had an abortion. However, two months have passed and my period still hasn't come. How long does it usually take for a period to return after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the onset of menstruation usually occurs around 30 days, or it may be as early as 25 days, or delayed to about 45 days, but it will never be less than 45 days. If there is still no menstruation after two months following an abortion, it is an abnormal sign. This condition may be caused by endometrial damage or uterine adhesions, or it may result from ovarian dysfunction. It is advisable to seek medical follow-up as soon as possible.
