Women hope to have a child after pregnancy, but may choose to have an induced abortion due to developmental abnormalities or other reasons that prevent them from continuing the pregnancy. Choosing induced abortion is actually equivalent to curettage, and most women have little understanding of curettage and do not know how much it affects the body. So, how long does it take for menstruation to occur after clearing the uterus?
Menstruation usually occurs around 30-40 days after a curettage surgery, which generally does not affect menstruation. Moreover, it varies from individual to individual, with some people recovering their menstruation faster and others delaying it for a few days. As long as it is within the above time range, it is a normal phenomenon. If it exceeds the time limit, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
A small percentage of women experience brief menstrual disorders after undergoing curettage surgery, which gradually return to normal within 2-3 months. Because curettage is an artificial termination of pregnancy, the body's reproductive endocrine system needs to be readjusted after external stimulation. The hypothalamus and other parts of the body begin to produce gonadotropins, accelerating the growth and development of ovarian follicles and ultimately ovulation.
Women must pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, avoid physical activity for half a month, and avoid direct contact with cold water after undergoing curettage. Sexual activity and bathing should be prohibited within a month as these practices may cause infection. If you still feel lower abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms after clearing the palace, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination.
