The second menstrual period is delayed after medical abortion

In daily life, everyone may know that children are a very special gift given to us by God. However, for this gift, many pregnant mothers will suffer a lot. If they have never given birth to a child, they may really not be able to understand it. Although childbirth is very painful, there will be many problems after giving birth. It does not mean that everything will be fine right after giving birth. In fact, there may be many sudden symptoms as the baby grows. These require pregnant mothers to pay more attention to their daily life. There is another group of people, that is, female friends who choose medical abortion. The problems they face are no less than those of mothers who have given birth, such as amenorrhea. So what is the reason for amenorrhea after medical abortion?

What is the reason for missed menstruation after medical abortion?

1. Cause infection: After women take anti-pregnancy drugs, the fetal sac tissue in the uterus can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not fully discharged, the uterine membrane is poorly restored, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks, or even 1-2 months. Long-term and chronic excessive blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's immunity. At this time, the bacteria usually travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Incomplete abortion: Some women suffer incomplete abortion after taking the medicine, which affects uterine contraction and the repair of uterine wall wounds, causing a significant increase in vaginal bleeding, which is 2-3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, internal bleeding may occur, causing anemia and shock. At this time, intravenous injections and emergency surgical treatments such as curettage and blood circulation are required.

3. Affecting any normal pregnancy in the future: If a single woman has repeated pregnancies and miscarriages, it may cause repeated damage to the uterine wall. Because the uterine wall is damaged, once they want to have a normal pregnancy, it is easy to develop placenta previa, which can cause prenatal bleeding. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage due to repeated abortions.

4. Menstrual disorders: Anti-pregnancy drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affecting the growth and development of eggs and even the ovulation period. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are mainly manifested by a decrease or increase in menstrual cycles and an increase in menstrual flow.

Generally, medical abortion will cause continuous bleeding for about 10-20 days, and menstruation will occur about 30-40 days after the operation. Some people may experience temporary menstrual disorders. If bleeding occurs within 30 days after medical abortion, it may be considered an incomplete abortion.

It is also possible that the menstrual period will be delayed after medical abortion. The main reason is that the decidual tissue cannot be completely discharged after medical abortion, resulting in prolonged bleeding. A large number of patients will eventually need to undergo a curettage, which increases the chance of genital infection and causes menstrual disorders. Because abortion drugs can cause irregular menstruation, early or delayed menstruation, and prolonged menstruation. In addition, if menstruation continues for one month after medical abortion, infection, residual residue in the uterine cavity and hormonal disorder in the body should be considered.

If the menstrual period is delayed after medical abortion, in addition to the reasons for medical abortion, other causes of amenorrhea should also be considered. In medicine, if a woman has had her menstrual period before and then stops having menstruation for 3 months or longer, it is called secondary amenorrhea. Diseases in the uterus, ovaries, pituitary gland, hypothalamus and pituitary gland may cause secondary amenorrhea. If amenorrhea is caused by uterine and ovarian endocrine factors, artificial cycle treatment is reasonable. If the current effect is not good, on the one hand, we need to consider whether the artificial cycle treatment method is reliable and whether the treatment process is sufficient, and on the other hand, we need to consider the existence of other factors that cause amenorrhea. Experts suggest that she go to a regular hospital for further examination.

If everything is normal, how long will it take for my period to come after medical abortion?

Menstruation usually comes 30-40 days after abortion. If you do not have your period after this time, it may be due to the following reasons:

One is cervical adhesion or uterine adhesion, which causes menstruation to be unable to be discharged or to be discharged poorly. Second, it may be that partial damage to the uterine wall causes amenorrhea or scanty menstruation. In this case, the patient can do a B-ultrasound to measure the thickness of the endometrium. It should be noted that abortion is traumatic after all, and it is best not to have sexual intercourse within one month. If you have sexual intercourse after one month, do not use abortion as a contraceptive measure if you do not want to get pregnant temporarily. Be sure to adopt reliable contraceptive measures to prevent damage to the human body caused by abortion. If you haven't had your period for more than 2 months after the abortion, you must go to a regular hospital for a check-up.
