Is it normal for a person to have their period 10 days after their last menstrual cycle?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: After an induced abortion, I had one menstrual period, and then another 10 days later. My menstrual cycle is 33 days. Is this normal? Past Medical History and Treatment: Follow-up examination showed everything normal. What kind of help do I need: Is this 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 irregularities persist, it is advisable to seek medical examination at a hospital.
