Is menstruation normal after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is it normal to have a menstrual period after an abortion under anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

After artificial abortion, the ovaries generally recover their ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation usually returns about 1 month later. However, a small number of women may experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after artificial abortion. This condition usually normalizes within 2 to 3 months, but in some cases, it may last longer.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of artificial abortion can cause some damage to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing artificial abortion should also take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
