How long does it usually take for menstruation to come after an abortion?

Everyone knows that menstruation will not come during pregnancy, and having an abortion means that you are no longer pregnant. At this time, if the body recovers, it means that menstruation has come. In many cases, there are many things to pay attention to after an abortion. Among them, many women want to know how long it will take for menstruation to come after an abortion? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction. I hope that through the editor's introduction, everyone can understand it.

It is normal to have menstruation 1-3 months after an abortion. Menstruation usually occurs about one month after an abortion, but due to the recovery of the endometrium and ovaries and endocrine factors, temporary abnormalities may occur and menstruation may be delayed to three months after the abortion. However, if you have sexual intercourse after an abortion, the possibility of getting pregnant again cannot be ruled out. Therefore, sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the abortion.

After an abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, irregular menstrual periods, and amenorrhea after artificial abortion. This condition usually returns to normal after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer. The timing of menstruation after an abortion will also vary depending on the number of days of pregnancy and individual physical condition. Generally speaking, the time of menstruation after early pregnancy abortion will follow the second menstrual cycle. In many cases, due to the changes in the body's hormones caused by painless abortion, ovulation may also be delayed, and the menstruation will be postponed accordingly. Therefore, there will be a phenomenon of not having menstruation for one month or several months after painless abortion. If your period is delayed for more than 7-10 days, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

The reasons why menstruation is delayed after abortion include:

1. After pregnancy, a series of changes will occur in the female body, such as the ovaries stop ovulating, the corpus luteum continues to exist, the endometrium no longer changes cyclically, and the hormone levels in the body change significantly. However, it still takes some time for the relevant organs in the body to recover and the hormone levels to adjust. Therefore, temporary amenorrhea or delayed menstruation often occurs, which is an inevitable phenomenon. So women don’t have to worry too much, just relax and wait for recovery.

2. Abortion is a harm to pregnant women both mentally and physically, especially to unmarried pregnant women or women who have never given birth. It always takes some time to recover. However, due to the advancement of abortion technology, women can have an abortion while they are sleeping, and the operation can be performed with visual micro-tubes, so the physical harm to women is almost zero. It also greatly reduces the psychological harm to women and helps their recovery.

3. Pregnancy again. Some women do not pay attention after the operation and cannot resist their husbands’ pestering. They have sex again before they fully recover, which leads to a second pregnancy. This is very dangerous. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited within one month after the abortion, and attention must be paid to contraception.

Women need to pay attention after abortion because this period is the most important time for the body to recover. At the same time, the most important thing to pay attention to after an abortion is when the menstruation will return. The return of menstruation means that the body has almost recovered. Diet and environment should not be ignored either, so that you can better restore your health.
