Where does the menstrual blood go in case of intrauterine adhesion?

Determine the uterine cavity adhesion and where the menstrual blood goes according to the specific situation. If it is mild adhesion, the menstrual blood will usually be discharged from the vagina. If it is complete adhesion, the menstrual blood may remain in the uterine cavity, or it may enter the fallopian tube or abdominal cavity.

Uterine adhesion is a common gynecological disease, mainly caused by damage to the endometrial layer. When the endometrial layer is damaged, the originally unobstructed uterine cavity will stick together, which not only affects the normal discharge of menstrual blood, but also causes a series of complications such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. Under normal circumstances, during menstruation, menstrual blood will be discharged from the uterine cavity through the cervix and vagina. However, when the uterine cavity has slight adhesions, the uterine cavity channel becomes narrower. Although menstrual blood may be discharged from the vagina, symptoms such as scanty menstruation and prolonged menstruation usually occur.

When the uterine cavity is completely adhered, some menstrual blood will be retained in the uterine cavity and accumulate in the adhered uterine cavity. As the menstrual cycle progresses, this retained menstrual blood may gradually penetrate into the tissues around the uterus. Some menstrual blood may flow back into the fallopian tubes or abdominal cavity, because the adhered uterine cavity cannot be effectively closed, causing menstrual blood to flow back from the uterus to the fallopian tubes or abdominal cavity, which may lead to serious consequences such as fallopian tube obstruction and abdominal adhesion.

To prevent the disease from having a serious impact on health, it can be treated under a doctor's surgery through methods such as uterine cavity separation and uterine cavity packing.
