Patient's question:
Please ask: How long should the menstrual period be after childbirth be considered normal? If it lasts too long, what could be the reasons or could it be other symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, menstruation occurs about 40 days later. After a female undergoes an induced abortion, hormonal changes in the body and damage to the endometrium during the surgery can lead to changes in menstruation for most women post-surgery. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed periods, and various other conditions. After such changes occur, menstruation usually gradually returns to normal after about 2-3 cycles.
