Patient's question:
After an abortion, for 15 days, there has been a small amount of black discharge. What could be the reason? I haven't had a follow-up check-up because I haven't had the time. How long should I wait before going for a follow-up check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, after an early pregnancy abortion, menstruation will follow the second menstrual cycle. In many cases, however, due to the hormonal changes caused by the abortion, ovulation may be delayed, and menstruation may also be postponed accordingly, resulting in the phenomenon of no menstruation for one month or several months after the abortion.Advice: After an abortion, hormonal levels cannot return to pre-pregnancy levels immediately. Therefore, it usually takes about 40 days for most people to restore normal menstruation, while some may take 60 to 90 days.
