How long does it take for menstruation to be normal after medical abortion?

I believe everyone is familiar with abortion. There are two types of abortion, one is natural abortion, the other is artificial abortion. Medical abortion is one of the artificial abortions. Medical abortion is very harmful, so we recommend that female friends must be very cautious before choosing medical abortion. In the following article, we will introduce to you how long it takes to have a normal period after a medical abortion.

Many women choose medical abortion to terminate their pregnancy, but they don’t know that it will bring some side effects, especially if it is done privately, which may lead to serious consequences. Delayed menstruation is a common phenomenon. So how long does it take for menstruation to be considered normal after medical abortion?

How long does it take for menstruation to be considered normal after medical abortion?

After medical abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur within about 1 month to 40 days. However, a small number of women experience menstrual disorders 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. It is recommended to go to a regular specialist hospital for further examination.
