Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant before, but I don't want the baby for now, so I went to the hospital to have an abortion. The surgery was successful now, but I've noticed that my menstruation hasn't come on time recently. What could be the reason for not having a period after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Normally, after any method of induced abortion, it is generally expected that menstruation will return and fully recover about one month later. If this timeframe is exceeded and there is a persistent lack of vaginal bleeding or menstruation, it is important to promptly undergo an MRI examination to check the thickness of the endometrium and conduct a test for six sex hormones. This is usually indicative of a hormonal imbalance, which may require endocrine treatment.
