Patient's question:
Last month, after the abortion surgery, I bled for over ten days. Now it's the end of the month, and my period still hasn't come. How long does it take for menstruation to return after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Painless abortion can lead to temporary endocrine disorders due to damage to the endometrium and endocrine dysfunction, with a recovery period of about three months. After the normal menstrual cycle returns, a follow-up check is necessary to ensure the uterus has fully recovered. The time it takes for menstruation to return after a painless abortion varies from person to person, ranging from 13 days post-surgery to 113 days. After an abortion, the cervix has not fully closed, and the endometrium needs to be repaired. During this period, pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia and avoid sitting for the first half month to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection.
