Is it normal for menstrual blood to be black 34 days after an abortion?

34 days after artificial abortion, black menstruation may be normal or abnormal, such as uterine cavity residue, endocrine disorder, endometritis, etc.

1. Normal

After an artificial abortion, the endometrium is usually damaged to a certain extent, especially after curettage, which may cause the endometrium to become thinner and cause the menstrual color to become darker. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, this is usually a physiological phenomenon. After the endometrium returns to normal, the menstruation will also return to normal without the need for special treatment.

2. Abnormal

1. Uterine cavity residue

Some women may have uterine cavity residue after artificial abortion, which can easily affect uterine contraction. Over time, the residual tissue may be oxidized in the uterine cavity, so the menstrual period is black.

2. Endocrine disorders

It takes some time for endocrine function to return to normal after artificial abortion. Before recovery, the estrogen level is relatively low and the endometrium is relatively thin. Menstruation is formed by the shedding of the endometrium, and the endometrium is very thin, which leads to a decrease in menstrual volume and reacts with the acidic secretions of the vagina, resulting in black menstruation.

3. Endometritis

If the post-abortion care is not done properly, it may cause bacteria to break through the uterine defense and cause endometritis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, menstruation may also turn black.

It may also be caused by intrauterine adhesions. Patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible. If it is a normal phenomenon, no treatment is required. If it is an abnormal phenomenon, targeted treatment is required.
