Introduction

It is generally normal if menstruation has not occurred 33 days after abortion, provided there are no other abnormal symptoms. However, if menstruation does not resume beyond the expected time or is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as persistent lower abdominal pain, fever, or increased abnormal discharge, this may indicate complications such as endometritis, cervicitis, or intrauterine adhesions, which would be considered abnormal.

Induced abortion generally refers to artificial termination of pregnancy. Not having a menstrual period 33 days after an induced abortion may be normal, but it could also indicate an abnormal condition. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. No menstruation for 33 days without other symptoms is usually normal

The menstrual cycle typically returns to normal within 4–6 weeks after an induced abortion. During this time, endometrial repair and hormonal fluctuations may cause delayed menstruation. If menstruation has not occurred by day 33 but there are no other symptoms, this is generally considered normal. There is no need for excessive concern—careful observation is sufficient.

2. No menstruation for 33 days accompanied by other abnormal symptoms indicates an abnormal condition

If menstruation does not occur beyond the expected timeframe or is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as persistent lower abdominal pain, fever, or increased abnormal vaginal discharge, this may suggest complications such as endometritis, cervical inflammation, or intrauterine adhesions, which would be considered abnormal. Additionally, if sexual intercourse occurred after the abortion without contraception, pregnancy may have already occurred, leading to amenorrhea (absence of menstruation).

It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation. After determining the specific cause, follow the doctor’s instructions for proper management. In daily life, maintain a light diet and ensure adequate rest.

Can menstruation-inducing drugs cause miscarriage?

Whether a menstruation-inducing drug can cause miscarriage generally depends on whether the woman is pregnant and the type of medication used—it cannot be generalized. If the woman is not pregnant, using menstruation-inducing drugs as directed will not lead to miscarriage; however, if she is pregnant, certain types of such medications may trigger miscarriage. Therefore, when menstrual delay occurs, it is important first to undergo medical evaluation to confirm whether pregnancy is present, and then use menstruation-inducing drugs only under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Can you eat apples after induced abortion?

In general, apples can be consumed in moderation after induced abortion, but attention should be paid to the variety and method of consumption. Overall postoperative diet should still follow the principles of being light, soft, and high in protein. Recommended staple foods include millet porridge and soft noodles. Protein sources should primarily consist of steamed egg custard, deboned fish meat, and chicken breast puree, while fried foods and spicy seasonings should be avoided. Raw or cold fruits and vegetables, alcohol, strong tea, and coffee should be temporarily avoided.
