What is the reason for irregular menstruation after uterine curettage?

Curettage is a necessary operation. It is mainly used when the residual tissue in the uterine cavity is not completely cleaned during abortion. At this time, curettage is needed to deal with it. However, after the curettage, women's bodies often undergo many changes, the most typical of which is menstrual abnormalities. So, what is the reason for irregular menstruation after uterine curettage? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Uterine curettage is mainly used to remove residual embryos in the uterus, which causes certain damage to the uterus. After the operation, the female endocrine system will begin to rebuild and the original menstrual cycle will also change. Generally, a new menstrual cycle will be established about one month after the operation. Some patients will not have their period until about 40 days after the operation. This is related to the patient's own resistance and the speed of uterine recovery.

It is very abnormal to have menstruation about 10 days after the operation. Menstruation at this time is actually caused by abnormal vaginal bleeding.

If the postoperative treatment is not appropriate, the patient will continue to bleed, which can easily induce infection. The infection will aggravate the bleeding and be detrimental to recovery. In addition, if there are any residues left after the curettage, it will cause the patient to bleed continuously.

The above is an introduction to what causes abnormal menstruation after uterine curettage. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. The main reason for irregular menstruation after curettage is that the curettage causes changes in the female body. Generally, there will be delays or postponements. Close observation is required. If it lasts for a long time, it is best to go to a regular hospital for further diagnosis.
