Patient's question:
The patient is my sister, she is only 23 years old and still very young, so she doesn't want to have children. She had an abortion, and it has been a month since her last menstrual period. Is it normal? Is it necessary to wait for her body to fully recover before her next menstrual period? So she can't get pregnant again now, right?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is normal for your sister not to have her period for a month after an abortion procedure, as the procedure can cause certain damage to the endometrium, and it takes some time for the menstrual cycle to fully recover. If the menstrual cycle has not fully recovered after two months, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. It is recommended to wait at least three months, preferably a year, after an abortion before considering getting pregnant.
