How long does it take to get menstruation after abortion?

Surgical abortion is a popular method of abortion. If the fetus of a pregnant woman is relatively large, medical abortion may not be complete, and surgical abortion must be used at this time. Nowadays, the pain of abortion is relatively small, and the uterus is cleaned very well. After an abortion, women need some time to recover before they can menstruate again. So, how long will it take for menstruation to come after an abortion?

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

After an artificial abortion, most people will have their period around 30 to 40 days. If you haven't had your period for more than this long, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up, do a gynecological color ultrasound, and check the thickness of the endometrium. Decide whether follow-up treatment is needed based on the results.

However, there are individual cases, depending on individual body constitutions or the doctor's surgical techniques. If you follow the normal post-abortion instructions this month, there should be no major problems. If the inflammation is normal after the operation, the white secretions will not be a big problem. Don't be overly nervous and keep a relaxed mood. It is very important. If you are worried, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination if you don't have your period within 3 days.

2. Precautions after artificial abortion

1. You should pay attention to rest after an artificial abortion. You cannot go to work immediately. You should rest in bed for 2 or 3 days to let your body recover first, and then slowly get out of bed and move around. It is not suitable to do a lot of physical activities after miscarriage. Pay attention to proper rest and do not do things that require too much concentration, such as reading and watching TV, which will easily cause mental fatigue. You can watch them appropriately, but not for a long time.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness after abortion, especially the cleanliness of the vulva. The cervix has not completely closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. Therefore, there will be bleeding at the beginning. During this period, you must change sanitary napkins frequently. The sanitary napkins used should be comfortable and soft, and underwear should be changed and washed frequently to avoid bacterial growth, because the unsanitary environment outside can cause some inflammation. The vulva should be cleaned with warm water every day. It is better to take a shower than a bath to avoid vaginal infection.

3. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited for one month after abortion. Genital infection is prone to occur when the body has not yet recovered from the abortion. If there are bacteria hidden in the male's genitals or in the female's vulva and vagina, they will take advantage of the opportunity to infect the cervix, which can easily cause some gynecological inflammation.
