Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask how long it takes for the menstrual cycle to return to normal after an abortion under anesthesia? It has been 20 days since I had the procedure, and my period has not arrived yet.Doctor's answer:
Hello! After an abortion without pain, the ovaries usually recover their ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation typically occurs around 1 month later. However, a small number of women may experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after an artificial abortion. This condition generally normalizes within 2-3 months, but for some, it may persist longer, requiring regular follow-up. If menstruation has not occurred after more than 50 days, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
