Patient's question:
How long after an abortion is it normal to get your period? I thought it should come exactly one month after the day of the procedure. I had the surgery on the 27th of last month, but my period still hasn't arrived. I'm so worried! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a B check-up, the uterine cavity is clean, with minimal bleeding. Usually, menstruation comes back one month later, but it may also come earlier or later. A delay of one week is normal. If it exceeds one week, especially if there is a history of unprotected intercourse after the, it is important to first rule out the possibility of early pregnancy. If not pregnant, you can have a B to check the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium reaches 10MM or more, it means menstruation is coming soon. Wishing you good health.
