What happens if I don’t have my period 70 days after an abortion?

Sometimes an unexpected pregnancy can bring considerable trouble to a couple. Should they keep the child? Current conditions do not allow it. If they don’t want the child, they may suffer harm to their bodies if they have an abortion. This is the contradiction people face. In fact, from the current medical perspective, abortion is not a difficult problem to deal with. So the question is, what is the reason for not having menstruation for 70 days after abortion?

How long does it take to get menstruation after abortion?

Menstruation occurs 1 to 3 months after abortion. After a woman becomes pregnant, a series of changes will occur in her body, such as cessation of ovulation, no more cyclical changes in the endometrium, and significant changes in hormone levels in the body. After an abortion, the endometrium is traumatized and it takes a certain amount of time for the body's organs and hormone levels to recover. The adjustment period is about 3 months, so women will experience temporary amenorrhea or delayed menstruation.

For most people, the ovaries resume ovulating function in about 22 days after an abortion, so menstruation usually occurs about 30 to 40 days after the operation. Abortion may cause temporary menstrual disorders, so it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination one month after the abortion to check the recovery of the uterus and whether the abortion was thorough.

If your menstruation has not returned to normal after more than 3 months, you should be alert and go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Reasons for not having menstruation after abortion

1. Get pregnant again. If women cannot abstain from sexual intercourse after surgery, a second pregnancy may also lead to amenorrhea and menopause. It is very dangerous to get pregnant immediately after an abortion when the body has not yet recovered, and it is very harmful to women's physical and mental health. You should abstain from sexual intercourse for one month after an abortion.

2. Mental burden. Abortion is not just a minor surgery for many women, but also a mental burden. Some women worry that the abortion surgery may not be successful and may cause infertility after the surgery. A tense mental state can affect women's endocrine system, leading to low estrogen secretion and thus causing menstruation.

3. Postoperative infection. If you do not refrain from sexual intercourse after an abortion, do not pay attention to the hygiene of your reproductive organs, and use a basin to bathe, it is easy for bacteria to invade the vagina and uterus, causing uterine cavity infection, irregular menstruation, and even amenorrhea.

After the abortion, you should pay attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue. If possible, it is best to rest for a few more days. In addition, sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited within 1 month, and sanitary products must be changed frequently. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or secretions with an unusual odor, seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the treatment.
