Patient's question:
On April 4th of last month, I had an abortion without anesthesia, and I haven't gotten my period yet.Doctor's answer:
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 post-surgery. Some may experience an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, while others may have delayed periods, and various other changes. If such situations occur, menstruation will gradually return to normal after about 2-3 cycles. Continue to monitor the situation, and if menstrual abnormalities persist, it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination. Wishing you good health.
