What happens if there is black discharge during menstruation after an abortion?

Abortion is the act of getting rid of a child. Although it seems very cruel, sometimes there is really no other way. Take college students for example. If they get pregnant during school, they definitely cannot have children, so they can only have an abortion. A miscarriage can actually cause great harm to a woman's body and may even cause permanent pain, so you must think carefully before doing it. So, what is the reason for the menstrual period to turn dark after miscarriage?

1. Small menstrual volume or irregular menstruation after abortion may be due to damage to the cervical endometrium or endometrium during abortion and adhesion after surgery. If the cervical canal is adhered, menstrual blood will be difficult to discharge, and these patients often have cyclical abdominal pain once a month. If the uterus is adhered, the symptoms will vary depending on the degree. A large adhesion may cause amenorrhea, while a small adhesion may reduce menstruation.

2. Excessive curettage or multiple abortions can cause multiple damages to the endometrium, resulting in defects in the entire endometrium or white scars, and the loss of menstruation formed by periodic endometrial exfoliation.

3. In a few cases, amenorrhea or reduced menstruation may occur due to incomplete curettage and residual placenta and other tissues. Normal menstruation can be restored after another curettage.

4. Some patients may also have scanty menstruation due to endocrine abnormalities such as premature ovarian failure, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, or ovarian anovulation, luteal insufficiency, etc.

5. Due to hypopituitarism, the ovaries secrete insufficient estrogen, resulting in insufficient endometrial hyperplasia (thin endometrium). When the endometrium sheds, there is less bleeding and the amount of menstrual blood is also scarce.

6. Others. Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system can all cause scanty menstrual flow.

How long does it take to get your period after a miscarriage?

Normally, menstruation comes about 28 days after abortion. However, many women experience amenorrhea due to postoperative care, psychological pressure, uterine recovery and many other reasons. Some may be delayed for a few days, and some may be delayed for several months. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take some medicine to regulate your body. Generally, you will have menstruation one month after the day of the abortion.

The average time for menstruation to resume after abortion is 33.8 days, with the earliest being 13 days and the latest being 113 days. About 67.4% of women resume ovulation in the first menstrual cycle after abortion. Other data reported that 78.05% of women resumed menstruation within 30 days after abortion, and 2.33% became pregnant again before their menstruation stopped because of failure to use contraception in time. Even with medication to prevent early or mid-term pregnancy (10 to 16 weeks of pregnancy), it takes about 30 days for menstruation to resume after miscarriage.
