How long does it take to get menstruation after curettage?

In our lives, many women choose to have an abortion because of an unexpected pregnancy. Some women choose to have a medical abortion. However, no matter which abortion method is used, it will cause great harm to the female body. In addition, if the abortion is not complete, a uterine curettage operation is required. After the uterine curettage, it is likely to cause female infertility. So how long will it take for menstruation to come after the uterine curettage?

Many women need to undergo curettage and dilation and abortion due to incomplete abortion. Although female curettage is a minor operation, it will cause certain damage to female body tissues. Women should also pay attention to how long it takes for menstruation to come after curettage. If the menstruation takes a long time after curettage, timely examination and treatment are needed. The following will introduce how long it takes for a woman to get her period after curettage. The earliest time for women to have menstruation is 13 days after surgery and the latest is 110 days after surgery, but menstruation usually occurs around 40 days. The operation may cause temporary menstrual disorders. It is best to have a follow-up B-ultrasound check about 1 month after surgery.

Experts point out that curettage surgery will affect the normal secretion of the ovaries to a certain extent, and recovery after curettage surgery also requires a certain period of self-recovery, which varies according to the patient's own physical condition and ovarian recovery. Generally speaking, menstruation will be delayed for about a month after curettage, and ovulation will return to normal within a month.

Curettage is very harmful:

1. Cervical or endometrial adhesion: During uterine dilatation and curettage, if the scraping is too rough, causing injury or inflammation of the cervix or endometrium, it is possible to cause postoperative cervical or endometrial adhesion and cause menstrual abnormalities, such as amenorrhea or too little menstrual flow. In severe cases, infertility may occur in the future.

2. Incomplete abortion: If the operation is not performed completely, a small amount of fetal tissue will remain in the uterus, which may affect uterine contraction and cause continuous bleeding or cause adhesion, infection, etc. It is best to perform another careful surgery to remove the remaining tissue. Abnormal position or shape of the uterus is generally more likely to cause this sequelae.

3. Bacterial infection: If the instruments are not completely sterilized, or the surgeon himself does not pay attention to the aseptic process, it may cause intrauterine infection and even continue to spread upward to invade the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. In severe cases, it may cause ectopic pregnancy or infertility in the future.

Postoperative care:

① After the curettage, the patient needs to rest for half an hour to one hour. He can leave the hospital only if he feels no special discomfort.

②Due to the pain stimulation during the operation, you may sweat a lot. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infection, and avoid excessive use of air conditioning in midsummer.

③ Keep the perineum clean and dry, change sanitary napkins frequently, and choose sanitary napkins and paper marked with the words "Xiao" or "Zhun". Wash the vulva with clean water every night and dry it with a clean and dry towel. Never use your hands to clean your vagina, and do not use any medicated lotions to rinse your vagina.

④ Abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contraction after the operation, which usually subsides in about half an hour to an hour. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever after a few hours or days, please see a doctor immediately.

⑤ Due to the trauma left in the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding and irregular menstruation within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please see a doctor immediately.
