Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery without anesthesia on October 21st. After the surgery, I recovered normally and had no abnormal reactions. When will I get my period?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, due to the rapid withdrawal of hormones in the body, it can lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn affects menstruation. This is a common occurrence. Generally, after a painless induced abortion, the ovaries can restore ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation usually returns approximately one month later. However, a small number of women may experience menstrual irregularities such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea after a painless induced abortion. This condition typically normalizes within 2-3 months, but for some, the duration may be longer, requiring regular follow-up. It is important to note that if menstruation does not return within 50 days, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if symptoms such as fever, pain, excessive vaginal discharge with an odor appear after a painless induced abortion, immediate medical evaluation and treatment at a professional gynecological hospital should be sought.
