What should I do if my menstruation is irregular after medical abortion?

Pregnancy is supposed to be a happy thing, but now many women choose to have an abortion for special reasons. Abortion is divided into natural abortion and medical abortion. Medical abortion itself is harmful to the female body. You cannot get pregnant again within one year after the abortion, and it will also cause the uterine wall to thin and cause habitual abortion. Some female friends feel that their menstruation is irregular after medical abortion and are very worried. Now let’s talk about the problem of menstruation after medical abortion.

Some women think that medical abortion is as painless as normal menstruation, does not harm the body and does not require rest. Usually, pregnant women must have amenorrhea within 45 days, have no history of chronic diseases or allergic asthma, have a positive diagnosis through B-ultrasound and urine pregnancy test, and have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months before they can have medical abortion. The "disadvantages" of medical abortion are: some cases require uterine curettage; bleeding lasts for a long time after abortion, and it is easy to get infected and cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, fallopian tube obstruction and even infertility.

There are two possibilities for irregular menstruation after medical abortion: First, the medical abortion itself was not done cleanly, resulting in prolonged bleeding, which is not normal "menstruation" (normal menstruation is generally 7 days). You need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check whether the medical abortion was done cleanly and whether a uterine curettage is needed. Second, it is caused by miscarriage. Any type of miscarriage can affect the next or next menstruation. Generally speaking, irregular menstruation may occur for 3 months. If the amount of menstrual bleeding is not large and the duration is not too long, you can observe and wait for natural recovery. Instead, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. It should be noted that in order to ensure the safety of the mother, do not go to private clinics for medical abortion.

Female friends must be reminded that if it is not absolutely necessary, it is best not to have an abortion. It will cause great harm to yourself. Emergency contraceptive pills are also very harmful. If you do not want a child, it is best to make contraceptive preparations in advance. Women must respect themselves first before they can get the respect of others. If an abortion is inevitable, you must take good care of your body. Do not have sex for one month after the abortion, do not take a bath, pay attention to rest, ensure a balanced nutritional intake, and strengthen your physical fitness.
