Patient's question:
A month and a half ago, I had an abortion without anesthesia. My period hasn't come yet. Is it normal not to have my period 46 days after the abortion without anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
Damage to the endometrium from a miscarriage can affect the endocrine system, potentially leading to menstrual irregularities. If sexual activity occurs during this period, it is necessary to use a pregnancy test to check for pregnancy. If pregnancy is not confirmed, it is generally not a problem if menstruation occurs within two months. If menstruation does not occur within two months, it is necessary to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. If the endometrium is thin, estrogen therapy may be required. If the endometrium is relatively thick, progesterone can be used, and menstruation usually occurs within one week of stopping the medication.
