What is the situation if the menstrual period hasn't arrived after an abortion?

Patient's question:

What is the situation if I haven't had my period after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the return of menstruation after an abortion can occur as early as 13 days post-surgery and as late as 113 days post-surgery, but it is generally around 30-40 days. Due to the damage to the endometrium after an abortion, it may lead to temporary menstrual disorders.
Advice:
Take oral contraceptives to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital to check the recovery of the endometrium. After an abortion, it is necessary to abstain from sexual activity for one month. Early sexual activity may lead to infection.
