Patient's question:
A month ago, I accidentally got pregnant and discussed with my boyfriend that we didn't want it. A week ago, I had an abortion. Now I'm on my period. How long after this abortion will my period come back? And how long after that can we have sex?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, under normal circumstances, menstruation should return completely within about a month. If it hasn't returned within less than a month, this is likely due to significant damage to the endometrium during the procedure, leading to thinning of the endometrium. In such cases, it is generally necessary to have a follow-up ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium.
