How long does it take to get menstruation after medical abortion?

Some women have unexpected pregnancies, so they need to pay attention to the corresponding abortion. Now many people choose to have abortion by medical abortion. No matter what method is used, it will cause harm to women. Therefore, many women have not had menstruation for a long time after medical abortion. At this time, they need to pay attention to their health. So how long will it take for menstruation to come after medical abortion?

Generally, bleeding will continue for about 10-20 days after medical abortion, and menstruation will occur about 30-40 days after the operation. Some individuals will experience temporary menstrual disorders. If bleeding occurs less than 30 days after medical abortion, it is considered incomplete.

Normally, the ovaries can resume ovulation function within 22 days after medical abortion, and menstruation will occur within about 1 month to 40 days. However, a small number of women experience menstrual irregularities such as prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after taking the medicine. This condition usually returns to normal after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer.

Menstruation may be delayed after medical abortion. The main reason is that the decidual tissue cannot be completely discharged after medical abortion, resulting in prolonged bleeding. A considerable number of patients eventually need uterine curettage, which increases the chance of reproductive organ infection and causes menstrual disorders. Because abortion drugs can cause irregular menstruation, menstruation may be advanced or delayed, or even prolonged. In addition, if menstruation continues for one month after medical abortion, infection, residual residue in the uterine cavity and hormonal disorder in the body should be considered.

If menstruation is delayed after medical abortion, in addition to the reasons for medical abortion, other causes of amenorrhea should also be considered. Medically speaking, if a woman has had menstruation before but then stops having menstruation for 3 months or longer, it is called secondary amenorrhea. Lesions in the uterus, ovaries, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, etc. may cause secondary amenorrhea. If amenorrhea is caused by ovarian endocrine factors, artificial cycle therapy is effective. If the current therapeutic effect is not good, on the one hand, we need to consider whether the artificial cycle therapy is regular and whether the treatment course is sufficient, and on the other hand, we need to consider the existence of other factors that cause amenorrhea. The expert recommends that she go to a regular hospital for further examination.

If women who have undergone medical abortion experience the above-mentioned problem of amenorrhea, then they need to pay attention to consult a doctor in time for corresponding examinations to ensure safety. If menstruation does not occur for a long time, it means that the female patient does not ovulate, so it is very likely a sequelae of medical abortion. Therefore, patients should pay attention to timely treatment according to the above method to ensure their health.
