Is it normal to have less menstrual flow after abortion?

A small amount of menstrual flow after abortion may be a normal physiological phenomenon, but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by abnormal pathological factors, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, intrauterine adhesions, etc.

1. Physiological phenomena:

During an abortion, the residue in the uterine cavity will be cleared, which will affect the thickness and area of ​​the endometrium, resulting in less menstrual flow. In addition, after an abortion, the hormone level in the body is unstable, which will slow down the thickening of the endometrium, resulting in less menstrual flow. These are all normal physiological phenomena, which will naturally ease as the uterus gradually recovers.

2. Pathological factors:

1. Pelvic inflammatory disease: If personal hygiene is not maintained after abortion, or if sexual intercourse is performed too early, bacteria may invade the body and irritate the pelvic connective tissue, causing local inflammatory changes. The main symptoms are decreased menstrual volume, lower abdominal pain, increased leucorrhea, etc. This is an abnormal phenomenon and should be treated with drugs such as cefixime capsules and levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets as prescribed by the doctor.

2. Intrauterine adhesion: During abortion, the endometrium will be traumatized. If it is infected by bacteria at this time, it will cause an inflammatory reaction in the uterine cavity, resulting in fibrosis of the endometrium and intrauterine adhesion. Clinically, the main symptoms are reduced menstruation, periodic abdominal pain, fever, etc. You can go to the hospital for intrauterine adhesion resection, which can effectively improve adhesion symptoms and restore normal menstruation.

Things to note after abortion:

After an abortion, you need to pay more attention to rest and avoid strenuous activities or excessive fatigue to avoid affecting your body's recovery.
