Patient's question:
After the abortion surgery, it was five days before the one-month mark when we had sex. More than a week has passed since the full moon, and my period hasn't arrived yet. I went to the hospital, and they confirmed I'm not pregnant. Now it's been over ten days, and it still hasn't come. What's going on? The doctor said I have vaginitis and cervical inflammation, prescribed medication, and told me to let nature take its course. I'm really worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, after an early pregnancy abortion, menstruation will follow the second menstrual cycle. In many cases, due to the hormonal changes caused by the abortion, ovulation may be delayed, and menstruation may also be postponed accordingly, leading to the phenomenon where menstruation does not come for one or several months after the procedure.Advice: After an abortion, hormone levels cannot immediately return to pre-pregnancy levels. Therefore, it usually takes about 40 days for most people to restore normal menstruation, while some may take 60 to 90 days.
