Post Date September, 25 2023
Many women in life choose abortion to end their pregnancy after an unexpected pregnancy, but the harm of abortion to their bodies is well-known. Perhaps many women find that their menstruation is not coming after an abortion. This makes them feel scared. Menstruation failure is a very important thing, and it is suspected that abortion may have damaged the endometrium and caused amenorrhea.
Is the occurrence of menopause after abortion due to damage to the endometrium?
During abortion, improper operation during surgery, frequent abortions in women, mechanical damage to the endometrium, damage to the protective layer of the basement membrane, and loss of normal endometrial regeneration ability. Without normal endometrium, the uterus will fall off and menstruation will not occur, which is also known as amenorrhea. In addition, when the endometrium is absent, the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus are prone to sticking together, leading to a decrease in menstrual flow. This situation can generally be cured if there is an urgent need for treatment. However, after extensive damage to the endometrium, the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus adhere, resulting in permanent amenorrhea.
What are the reasons for amenorrhea after abortion?
1、 Cervical canal adhesions. After the destruction of the endometrial basal layer, cervical adhesions are prone to occur, and menstrual blood cannot be discharged. At this time, patients may experience periodic abdominal pain and anal distension, and there may be uterine bleeding during gynecological examinations
2、 Hypothalamic ovarian dysfunction. Due to the fact that some women may become anxious after learning about their unexpected pregnancy, and may experience fear when choosing an abortion, this emotion can disrupt the function between the central nervous system and the hypothalamus, thereby affecting ovulation function and ultimately leading to amenorrhea.
3、 Premature sexual activity after surgery. Generally, women need to adjust for one month after the end of the abortion surgery, during which they cannot have sex. However, there are also women who have not cultivated themselves for one month who have had sex early after the abortion. Uterine infections that have not been fully repaired can affect normal repair, cause uterine diseases, and ultimately amenorrhea.
Kind reminder, abortion can be very harmful to women's bodies. If you are not prepared for pregnancy, you should take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse to avoid accidental pregnancy and harm to the body. After the abortion, it is necessary to fully recover the body. If the body is weak after the surgery, appropriate intake of nutritious and easily digestible food can help the body recover.
