Patient's question:
Because of an unexpected pregnancy, I had an abortion surgery at the hospital a few weeks ago. However, since the surgery, my menstruation has been quite irregular. Sometimes it comes a few days late, and the amount is slightly less than before. I would like to consult whether the relationship between abortion and menstruation is significant? Is my current condition due to the abortion?Doctor's answer:
There is a certain relationship between human flow and menstruation. Induced abortion has a certain psychological trauma on the body's uterus and endometrium. After induced abortion, it can affect the amount of menstrual flow again, and it is also easy to cause secondary gynecological inflammation after surgery. Gynecological inflammation can cause the endometrium to become congested and edematous, which can lead to abnormal menstruation. Additionally, induced abortion after surgery can also cause adhesions in the uterine cavity and cervix, making it easy to develop secondary amenorrhea.
