So will abortion affect the menstrual cycle?

Menstruation will come about one month after an abortion. After an abortion, normal menstruation will be affected due to the rapid decrease of progesterone in the body.

However, a small number of women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, longer or shorter cycles, and amenorrhea after abortion.

Symptoms such as scanty menstruation after abortion generally improve after 2-3 months. If menstrual irregularities persist for a long time after abortion, or if menstruation has not come for more than 50 days, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Abortion is an invasive procedure in the uterine cavity. It causes uterine contraction after curettage and may cause mild abdominal pain or back pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding.
