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 always lasted for 8 days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the time it takes for your period to return after medication abortion depends on your constitution and recovery condition. Generally, it takes about 1 month after medication abortion for your period to return. However, some women may experience irregular menstruation after medication abortion, such as prolonged menstruation, 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 activity. Gentle exercise is appropriate. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month, but you can resume it after one month. However, since ovulation may have already resumed, it's essential to take contraceptive measures during intercourse to avoid an unintended pregnancy. Wishing you good health.
