How long does it take for ovulation to resume after abortion?

There is no clear answer to the question of how long it takes to ovulate after an abortion, because the damage to a woman's body depends on how long the pregnancy is at the time of the abortion. The longer the pregnancy, the greater the damage to the body, so it will take longer to restore ovulation.

Almost within a week after an early pregnancy abortion, the estrogen level returns to the non-pregnancy level; the ovaries respond to FSH regulation within 4 to 7 days after the abortion. The recovery time of ovulation after abortion is: in early pregnancy with a gestational age of 8-15 weeks, ovulation can be restored 2 to 3 weeks after the abortion; in mid-pregnancy with a gestational age of 16 to 20 weeks, ovulation can be restored 4 to 6 weeks after the abortion. The younger the gestational age, the earlier the ovulation will be restored.

Foreign data show that ovulation after abortion can occur as early as the 11th day after surgery. According to domestic data, the average time for menstruation to resume after early pregnancy abortion is 33.8 days, the earliest is 13 days after surgery, and the latest is 113 days after surgery. About 67.4% of women resume ovulation in the first menstrual cycle after abortion. Other data reported that 78.05% of women resumed menstruation within 30 days after abortion, and 2.33% of them became pregnant again before menstruation due to failure to take contraceptive measures in time. Even if drugs are used to prevent early and mid-term pregnancy (10-16 weeks of pregnancy), the time for menstruation to resume after abortion is about 30 days. It is recommended to return for follow-up every two weeks.

To avoid secondary injuries after miscarriage, women must get enough rest and ensure adequate nutrition after miscarriage. Remember that sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after miscarriage, keep the vulva clean, and avoid sitting baths. Regular check-ups after surgery are performed to understand your own recovery status and the intrauterine environment. Precautions after miscarriage cannot be ignored. The following points should be noted after miscarriage:

1. You must stay in bed and rest within two weeks after the abortion surgery. You cannot engage in heavy physical labor.

2. After the surgical abortion, you should eat more nutritious foods, such as lean meat, chicken, eggs, milk and beans, to increase nutrition and help the body recover.

3. Marital relations are prohibited. You should not have sexual intercourse within 30 days after the abortion to avoid infection.

4. After the abortion operation, there will be secretions flowing out, which should be washed with warm water every day to keep clean to avoid infection.

5. After the abortion, you should be careful not to take a sitting bath within two weeks or if there is still bleeding to avoid infection. If you want to take a sitting bath, you can take a shower.
