How long does it take for menstruation to return after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I had a medication abortion due to an accidental pregnancy, and my period still hasn't come yet. I want to know how long it usually takes for a period to return after a medication abortion.

Doctor's answer:

If the medication abortion is completely successful, it is generally possible to experience the return of menstruation about a month later. However, as everyone's physical constitution is different, the time it takes for the endometrium to repair varies in speed and duration. If the endometrial repair process is prolonged, it may take nearly two months for menstruation to occur again. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo an MRI examination to accurately assess the growth and development of the endometrium, further predicting the time of menstruation.
