Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What your partner could be experiencing of not getting periods after the process of abortion is due to secondary amenorrhea. The cause of it needs to be determined which could be mostly due to hormonal imbalance.
Kindly get her blood tested for hormones FSH and LH levels along with an ultrasound scan of abdomen.
Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
