Patient's question:
How long after an abortion does menstruation come back? Will the first menstruation after an abortion be very painful?Doctor's answer:
Hello! After artificial abortion, the ovaries generally recover their ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation usually returns about 1 month later. However, some women may experience prolonged periods or menstrual disorders after artificial abortion. This condition typically resolves around 2 months. Additionally, after early pregnancy termination, the second menstrual cycle will follow. In many cases, the timing of menstruation may be delayed due to hormonal changes caused by painless abortion, which can also lead to a subsequent delay in the menstrual cycle. As a result, some women may not experience menstruation for a month or several months after undergoing painless abortion.
