Patient's question:
After the abortion surgery, five days before the one-month mark, we had sex. More than a week after the full moon, my period still hasn't arrived. I went to the hospital, and they confirmed I'm not pregnant. Now it's been over ten days, and it hasn't come yet. What's going on? The doctor said I have vaginitis and cervicitis, prescribed medication, and told me to let nature take its course. I'm so worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, after an early pregnancy abortion, menstruation will follow the second menstrual cycle. In many cases, due to the hormonal changes caused by the abortion, ovulation may be delayed, and menstruation may also be postponed accordingly, resulting in the phenomenon of no menstruation for one month or several months after the abortion.Advice: After an abortion, hormonal levels cannot immediately return to pre-pregnancy levels. Therefore, it usually takes about 40 days for most people to restore normal menstruation, while some may take 60 to 90 days.
