Patient's question:
On May 10th, I had an abortion. It has been more than two months now, and my period has not come. I have not visited the hospital yet.Doctor's answer:
Generally, menstruation returns 30-40 days after an abortion. If menstruation does not occur within this time frame, it may be due to the following reasons: First, there may be cervical adhesion or uterine cavity adhesion, which prevents menstrual blood from being expelled or causes it to flow poorly. Second, it may be due to local endometrial damage after an abortion, leading to a lack of menstruation or reduced menstrual flow. In this case, the patient can have an ultrasound to measure the thickness of the endometrium. It should be noted that an abortion is still a traumatic procedure, and sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month. After one month, if sexual activity is resumed, it should not be used as a form of contraception. If you do not wish to conceive temporarily, it is essential to use a reliable method of contraception to avoid significant physical harm caused by the abortion. If menstruation does not return after more than two months following an abortion, it is necessary to visit a regular hospital for related examinations.
