Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently found out that I am pregnant, but I don't want a child right now and plan to have a painless abortion. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the placental villi abruptly disappears, causing the ovary to temporarily fail to respond to gonadotropins secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, thus leading to menstrual irregularities. The occurrence of menstruation in women is the result of the interaction between the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries, and uterus, regulated by the neuroendocrine system. When a person is under excessive stress, fear, grief, overexertion, or undergoes surgery, these conditions can inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries, and uterus through the neuroendocrine system, thereby causing menstrual abnormalities. In daily life, patients should maintain balanced nutrition, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
