How many drops are there in the first menstrual period after abortion

Is it normal to have a small amount of menstrual period for the first time after abortion?

Many women have a small amount of menstrual flow for the first time after an abortion, which makes them feel a little worried. Is this normal? In fact, this is a question that female friends are very concerned about. Experts suggest that the amount of menstrual flow is mainly related to the uterine wall. So is it normal for the first menstrual flow after an abortion to be only a small amount?

After an abortion, the first menstrual period with only a small amount of blood is considered an abnormal situation. For most women, their menstrual periods resume in about one month after an abortion. The amount of menstruation should be similar to that in the past. If only a small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs, it is abnormal and the cause of reduced menstrual flow due to uterine adhesions must be ruled out.

It is recommended to do B-ultrasound examination, mainly to understand the thickness of the uterine wall and whether the echo of the uterine wall is uniform. You can take menstrual regulating drugs orally for treatment, such as Bazhen Yimu Capsules and Yimucao Capsules, and observe the next menstrual period. If the next menstrual flow is still very light, a hysteroscopic surgery is recommended, mainly to separate the adhesion tissue so that the menstrual period can resume.

The first menstrual period after abortion is very light

1. In rare cases, amenorrhea or scanty menstruation after abortion may occur due to incomplete curettage and residual embryonic tissue. The menstrual period can be restored after another curettage.

2. Some patients have endocrine abnormalities such as hyperlacturia or anovulation of the uterus and ovaries, premature ovarian failure, hypothalamic pituitary amenorrhea, and luteal insufficiency.

3. The cervix, endometrium or uterine wall is damaged during abortion and curettage, resulting in adhesions after the operation. If the cervical canal is adhered, menstruation cannot be discharged. Such patients usually have regular abdominal pain once a month. For example, if there is cervical adhesion, the manifestations will vary depending on the degree. A large area of ​​adhesion can cause amenorrhea, while a small area can lead to less menstrual flow after abortion.

What are the common problems after abortion?

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the uterine wall.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you must pay attention to maintaining daily cleaning of the vulva, and wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. You do not need to take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid discharge with odor and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

Women should have a certain understanding of the situation of low menstrual flow after abortion and take more reasonable improvement measures in time. Women should pay attention to the situation that the first menstrual flow after abortion is small. If the first menstrual flow after abortion is small and continues to occur, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
