Patient's question:
After the surgery, I have been experiencing continuous leakage. The doctor told me it's normal, but my menstruation hasn't come yet. I want to know how long after an abortion is it considered normal for menstruation to return?Doctor's answer:
General painless abortion surgery is most suitable for healthy early pregnant women within 13 weeks of gestation. The best time is around 35-45 days of pregnancy, preferably not less than 70 days. If it is less than 70 days, forceps dilation may be required, which could increase the risk of surgery. For pregnancies less than 100 days, induction of labor must be performed.Painless abortion requires 2 days of rest. Pay attention to preventive measures, avoid catching colds or infections, and eat nutritious foods to help the body recover quickly.
Generally, a menstrual period should occur about a month after the surgery. If there are any abnormalities, seek follow-up treatment promptly.
For the first month after surgery, sexual activity is strictly prohibited to prevent gynecological infections. Pay attention to rest, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and can eat more fresh fruits.
At the same time, maintaining a positive mindset is very important.
