After taking medication for a miscarriage and having a D&C procedure, my period arrived 25 days later.

Patient's question:

After taking medication for a miscarriage and having a D&C procedure, my period arrived 25 days later. It only lasted for 4 days, which is normal! Before having the D&C surgery, my period usually lasted for 8 days.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the time it takes for your period to return after medication abortion depends on your physical condition and recovery. Generally, it takes about one month after medication abortion for your period to return. However, a small number of women may experience irregular menstruation after medication abortion, such as prolonged periods, irregular cycles, or amenorrhea. This condition usually returns to normal within 2-3 months.
Advice: After a D&C procedure, it's important to rest. You can do hula hoop exercises, but avoid intense activities. Gentle exercise is appropriate. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month, but you can resume it after one month. However, since ovulation has already started, use contraception during intercourse to avoid accidental pregnancy. Wishing you good health.
