How long does it take for a woman to have her period after having an abortion?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion on the 7th of last month, but it hasn't arrived yet. Is it urgent? Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up? First follow-up question: One week after the surgery, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor said it was clean and the recovery was normal. Is it still possible that it wasn't completely cleaned?

Doctor's answer:

The situation of menstruation after a procedure also varies depending on the individual's pregnancy duration and physical constitution. Due to the hormonal changes in the body caused by the painless abortion surgery, ovulation may be delayed, which in turn leads to a delayed menstrual cycle. As a result, it is possible to experience a lack of menstruation for one or several months after a painless abortion. If menstruation is delayed for more than 7-10 days, it is essential to visit a hospital for a thorough examination.
