Patient's question:
After marriage, I had a medication abortion, but I didn't have an ultrasound. I didn't take any medication, but it has been 10 days and my period hasn't ended yet. Should I see a doctor? What kind of assistance do you need: Should I see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
After artificial abortion, the ovaries generally recover completely from menstrual function within 22 days, with menstruation usually occurring within one month. However, a very small number of women may experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after artificial abortion. This condition typically normalizes within 2-3 months, though for some, the duration may be longer. The timing of menstruation after an abortion also varies depending on the number of days since conception and individual physical constitution. Without knowing your specific situation, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological examination. The same applies after medication abortion, as a gynecological check-up is also necessary.
