Patient's question:
I had to undergo an abortion procedure, and it is said that after an abortion, the uterus may enlarge and it can also interfere with my body. Therefore, I am very concerned about it affecting my future fertility. So, I want to ask how long does it take for the uterus to return to normal size after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the situation, if you have a scratch after the flow, you can naturally apply medicine about one week later. As for the complete recovery of your abdomen, it also takes about a month of time. Of course, if you eat a lot, you may also gain weight. In this case, your abdomen may become larger due to weight gain. The complete recovery of the uterus generally requires 6-8 weeks to return to normal. After an abortion, sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month.
