Patient's question:
Three months after a painless abortion, my menstrual flow has been very little, less than half of what it used to be. During the one-month postoperative check-up, an ultrasound was performed, and the endometrial thickness was normal. The doctor said the recovery was good. But why is my menstrual flow so low?Please provide an explanation. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Menstrual hypomenorrhea should first be considered due to endocrine abnormalities, such as abnormal hormone secretion or anovulation. Additionally, when the endometrium is abnormal, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion, scraping, or endometrial thinning and adhesions. After a miscarriage, extra attention should be paid to hygiene. Change underwear and pants frequently, wash them daily, and frequently replace and disinfect sanitary napkins. Those who have not yet stopped bleeding should absolutely avoid vaginal douching or soaking in a bath to prevent ascending infection. Sexual activity should be avoided for 4 weeks after the procedure, and contraception should be maintained after recovery.
