Patient's question:
Doctor, how long after an induced abortion is it considered normal for menstruation to return? It has been 35 days now, and I haven't had my period yet. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, menstruation occurs about 40 days later. After a woman undergoes an abortion, hormonal changes in the body and damage to the endometrium during the surgery can lead to changes in menstruation for most women postoperatively. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed menstruation, and various other conditions. If this occurs, menstruation will gradually return to normal after approximately 2-3 cycles. Continue to monitor the situation, and if menstrual abnormalities persist for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical examination at a hospital.
