Patient's question:
I got pregnant by accident in August this year, but the timing wasn't ideal, so I decided not to keep the child and chose medication abortion. It has been three months now, and my period hasn't come yet. I'm a bit worried about the medication abortion potentially harming my body. Could you please consult about how long it usually takes for the period to return after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, menstruation usually occurs 35-40 days later, but there may be cases where the time can be much longer. This is because the levels of sex hormones in the body change after medication abortion, leading to changes in endometrial growth, which can easily affect the normal menstrual cycle.You haven’t had your period for three months. First, it’s necessary to rule out the possibility of pregnancy again. Second, you’ll need to work together with many medications to regulate your menstrual cycle.
