Is it normal to have less menstrual flow after abortion?

In today's society, it is not uncommon for unexpected pregnancies to occur due to various reasons. When an accident has already occurred, many people choose to have an abortion when they do not want to raise the child or are unable to raise the child for the time being. Artificial abortion will have some impact on the body, or there will be some sequelae after the abortion. For example, the amount of menstrual flow becomes less after an abortion. Is it normal for the amount of menstrual flow to become less after an abortion?

Absence of menstruation after childbirth can be said to be a relatively common sequelae of miscarriage.

Under normal circumstances, menstruation will come one month after the abortion, but after the abortion, damage to the endometrium or endocrine disorders may cause temporary menstrual disorders. This is normal and the recovery period is generally about three months. If a woman exceeds this time, she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Reasons for not having menstruation after abortion:

1. Having sex or taking a bath too early after surgery. Some women have sex with their husbands a few days after surgery or take a tub bath without following the doctor's advice, which causes bacteria to invade the vagina and uterus, resulting in uterine cavity infection, irregular menstruation and even amenorrhea.

2. Excessive mental stress and anxiety. Fear before surgery, fear of abortion or mental burden caused by inability to conceive or give birth, especially the shame of getting pregnant before marriage. If this emotion fails to change after surgery, it can lead to amenorrhea.

3. Frequent induced abortions. Some women have several abortions in a year, and their endometrium is scraped thin and cannot recover in a short period of time. If the basal layer of the endometrium is completely damaged, it can lead to permanent amenorrhea, while partial damage can cause temporary amenorrhea.

4 Individual differences. Everyone's body is different. Some women's endocrine system changes after an abortion, and the level of chorionic gonadotropin drops suddenly, causing the ovaries to be unable to respond to the gonadotropin from the anterior pituitary gland, resulting in the endometrium being unable to change according to the cycle and amenorrhea.

Reasons for scanty menstruation after abortion: 1. There may be cervical adhesion or uterine adhesion, which leads to the inability to discharge menstrual blood or poor discharge. If menstruation is regular after abortion, you can measure your basal body temperature every morning for a cycle to further confirm whether ovulation is normal.

5. The reason for scanty menstruation after abortion may be local damage to the endometrium. B-ultrasound can be performed in the middle of the menstrual period to measure the thickness of the endometrium, and a hysteroscopy can be performed if necessary. If endometrial adhesions are present, they can be separated under hysteroscopy, and then large doses of estrogen can be used to promote endometrial growth. Whether it will affect future pregnancy depends on the results of examination and treatment.

It seems that artificial abortion does have a great impact on health, so if you have an abortion under unavoidable circumstances, you must take extra care of your body. It is common for menstrual flow to decrease after an abortion, which can even lead to more serious consequences, such as permanent amenorrhea, so you must think twice before having an abortion.
