Some female friends accidentally become pregnant, and in reality, they cannot have a baby, so they can only choose to have an abortion. Abortion can cause significant physical harm to women. Women should take care of their bodies and preferably use contraceptive measures during sexual activity. So, when there are more abortions, will menstruation come? What's wrong with not having menstruation?
How long does it take for menstruation after an abortion?
Menstruation occurs 1-3 months after abortion. After a woman becomes pregnant, a series of changes will occur in her body, such as cessation of ovulation, cessation of cyclic changes in the endometrium, and significant changes in hormone levels. After an abortion, the endometrium is traumatized, and the recovery of organs and hormone levels in the body takes some time. The adjustment period is about 3 months, so women may experience temporary amenorrhea or delayed menstruation.
After most people undergo abortion surgery, the ovaries resume ovulation function around 22 days, so menstruation usually occurs around 30-40 days after surgery. Abortion may cause temporary menstrual disorders, so it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination one month after abortion to check the recovery status of the uterus and whether the abortion is complete. If menstruation has not returned to normal for more than 3 months, one should be vigilant and immediately go to the hospital for examination.
Reasons for not having menstruation after abortion
1. Re pregnancy. After surgery, women cannot help but engage in sexual activity, which can lead to amenorrhea and amenorrhea due to a second pregnancy. Getting pregnant immediately after an abortion before the body has fully recovered is a very dangerous thing, which poses a great threat to women's physical and mental health. After the abortion surgery, one should stay away from sexual activity for one month.
2. Mental burden. Abortion is not just a minor surgery for many women, but a mental burden. Some women may worry about the failure of abortion surgery, which may lead to infertility after the operation. A tense mental state can affect women's endocrine system, leading to reduced secretion of estrogen and causing menstruation.
3. Postoperative infection. If sexual activity is not prohibited and reproductive organ hygiene is not paid attention to after an abortion, using a basin for bathing can easily lead to bacterial invasion of the vagina and uterus, causing uterine cavity infections, menstrual irregularities, and even amenorrhea.
After abortion, attention should be paid to rest and excessive fatigue should be avoided. Those who have the conditions should rest for a few days at most. In addition, sexual activity and bathing are prohibited within one month, and hygiene products should be changed frequently. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor from secretions, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
