How long does it take for menstruation to come after uterine curettage?

Curettage surgery is a common type of artificial abortion. If the pregnancy is terminated actively, it will have a certain impact on the woman's physiology. The most typical impact is that it affects the normal menstrual cycle of women. Once the menstruation is disrupted, women will still be very worried and will be more concerned about when their menstruation will come again. So, how long will it take for menstruation to come after a uterine curettage? Let’s take a closer look below.

Menstrual period after curettage

Although curettage does not require surgery, it has a certain impact on women. Therefore, the time of menstruation after surgery is related to the speed of women's recovery, so it may be advanced or delayed by a few days. But usually, menstruation will come about one month after curettage. Some women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after miscarriage. This situation usually returns to normal after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer.

The appropriate time for abortion and curettage

Generally speaking, the appropriate time for abortion and curettage is when the pregnancy is no more than 3 months. Because there is not much pregnancy tissue at this time and the embryo is very small, it is easier to expel from the body with less damage. Relatively speaking, the risk of medical abortion will be lower if it is performed at the optimal time for curettage. However, please note that you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after the curettage, and you can go home only if there are no abnormalities.

How long after curettage can I have sex?

You have to wait one month after the curettage before resuming sexual life. Although it is clean, the endometrial trauma has not fully recovered. If you have sexual intercourse too early, the bacteria brought into the vagina can easily ascend and cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Curettage has a great impact on infertility. If the scraping is shallow, it may cause bleeding due to incomplete scraping, which may require a second curettage. If the scraping is too deep, it will inevitably cause trauma to the endometrium due to excessive scraping and damage the function of the uterus. A single curettage, especially multiple curettages, can lead to uterine cavity adhesion and cervical adhesion, which can cause infertility.

The above is an introduction to how long it will take for menstruation to occur after a uterine curettage. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. After the uterine curettage, the time of the next menstruation is closely related to the female's physical condition. Generally, if there are no abnormalities, it will recover normally in 2-3 months. In very rare cases, it may last longer. In order to prevent abnormal situations from occurring, it is best to choose a regular hospital.
