After an abortion, why hasn't my period ended after more than ten days?

Patient's question:

After an abortion, why hasn't my period ended after more than ten days?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, hormone levels in the body have not fully returned to normal after an induced abortion. Some people may experience menstrual irregularities such as prolonged periods, irregular cycle lengths, or excessive or insufficient menstrual flow after the procedure. This condition usually normalizes within 2-3 months post-abortion, but a few individuals may experience a longer duration. It is recommended to closely monitor your condition and seek medical examination from a formal hospital gynecology department promptly if any abnormalities occur.
