What's wrong if menstruation doesn't come after medication-induced abortion?

Patient's question:

Not married, got pregnant unexpectedly, didn't want the child, so had an abortion. At the time, the child was still very young, and the doctor recommended medication abortion, saying that menstruation would return completely in about a month. But now it's been one and a half months, and my period still hasn't come. What's wrong with not having a period after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after oral medication-induced abortion, if the recovery is complete and the basic menstrual cycle is not affected, there should be no issues. Therefore, if your period has not arrived on time, it is still recommended to visit the hospital promptly for a thorough examination. Clarifying the current condition of the uterine appendages and the thickness of the endometrium can help determine the specific time of menstruation. If necessary, oral progesterone may be required to regulate the menstrual cycle.
