Delayed menstruation after abortion

After a woman has an abortion, her body will be abnormal for a long time, such as occasional discharge of lochia and delayed menstruation. This is because abortion can cause serious damage to the body's qi and blood. If the operation is not performed properly, it can aggravate the damage to uterine cells and lead to amenorrhea. The main cause of amenorrhea is physical weakness, so the first thing to do is to expel the lochia from the body, and then eat more foods that warm and nourish the uterus.

Causes of amenorrhea after abortion

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that after pregnancy, due to the sudden termination of pregnancy by artificial abortion, the contents of the uterine cavity are expelled quickly, and the Qi and blood that nourish the fetus in the Chong and Ren meridians have not returned, but overflow outside the meridians. If the operation is improper and the curettage is too deep, the uterus will be severely damaged, the Chong and Ren meridians will be damaged, and the kidney Qi will be affected. The body's positive Qi will be difficult to recover for a while, and the Chong and Ren meridians will become weak and dysfunctional and unable to conduct menstruation, resulting in amenorrhea. In addition, because some people will be emotionally nervous during abortion, the disorder of Qi will cause the liver and spleen to have blood regulation dysfunction. After the operation, the uterus will involute and contract, the blood circulation in the uterine vessels will be blocked, and menstruation will not occur.

How to treat amenorrhea after abortion

The symptom of amenorrhea after abortion is mainly due to deficiency, but it is also complicated by excess. Treatment should focus on tonifying the deficiency, taking into account both the symptoms and the root cause. After the operation, Qi and blood are severely damaged. Deficiency refers to the deficiency of both Yin and Yang Qi and blood, low function, and actual stagnation. Deficiency leads to blood stasis, and blood stasis leads to further deficiency. They are mutually causal and form a vicious cycle.

Amenorrhea after abortion, although amenorrhea is the main symptom, the treatment should not only focus on whether there is menstrual blood, but also focus on adjusting skills. Regulating menstruation must start with nourishing Tiangui, adjusting Chong and Ren, replenishing Qi and blood, and correcting the overall health condition.

When making specific diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the results of the four examinations and then formulate a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan. When Ms. Li came to see the doctor, Mao Shunlin noticed that her face was pale, her tongue was dull and had a thin coating, and his voice was low and weak. He asked her why she had been having amenorrhea for almost 3 months, and that she had unbearable swelling and pain in her lower abdomen and lumbar spine, which occurred periodically. She also had general weakness, sore waist and weak legs, and cold limbs. His pulse was thin. The syndrome is kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, and amenorrhea due to cold stagnation. The treatment is to replenish Qi, nourish blood, remove blood stasis, and regulate Chong and Ren meridians. After taking 5 doses of the medicine, menstruation came, but the amount was small and the abdominal distension was relieved; after taking 5 more doses with additions and subtractions to the above formula, the amount of menstruation increased, the color was normal, and the cold sensation disappeared. Instruct the patient to take 5 doses of the medicine according to the original prescription one week before menstruation and regulate it for 3 menstrual cycles. After one year of follow-up, the menstrual volume and menstrual period returned to normal.
