I have been on a D&C for 39 days, and I still haven't had my period. What's going on?

Patient's question:

Please let me know, it has been 39 days since I had an abortion, but I still haven't had my period. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! You don't need to worry too much. Generally, menstruation occurs about 40 days later. After a woman undergoes an abortion, hormonal changes in the body and damage to the endometrium during the surgery can lead to changes in menstruation for most women postoperatively. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed periods, and various other conditions. If this occurs, menstruation will gradually return to normal after about 2-3 cycles. Continue to monitor the situation, and if menstruation remains abnormal for a long time, you can visit the hospital for examination.
