Will irregular menstruation occur after cesarean section? How to regulate irregular menstruation after cesarean section?

In the gynecological clinic, the scar on the uterine wall caused by caesarean section may cause menstrual blood to be retained, which should not be underestimated. Caesarean section causes the scar tissue of the cervix to form a hole, which causes the menstrual blood to flow uncleanly. Currently, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery can be used to heal the scar on the uterine wall and allow the menstrual blood to be discharged normally, just like hysteroplasty. It is not only safer, but also avoids the embarrassing situation of continuous menstrual blood dripping.

According to statistics from the National Health Administration, the cesarean section rate in Taiwan has increased year by year from 33.7% in 1993 to 36.4%. Although the anesthesia and surgical techniques for cesarean sections are now quite mature, cesarean sections themselves still cause some sequelae that were not known in the past.

Caesarean section sequelae may cause continuous menstrual bleeding

For example, some women who choose cesarean section face longer menstrual periods after giving birth. Some people's menstrual periods increase from 7 days to 8 to 9 days, and finally to 14 days. Some people's menstrual periods are as long as 21 days. However, the physiological cycle remains unchanged. For half of every month, they suffer from constant menstrual bleeding. After a few days of relief, the "good friend" cycle begins again and they face the continuous cycle of menstrual bleeding.

This is because during a caesarean section, after the wound on the cervix forms a scab, the muscles at the scab will contract, causing the originally smooth cervix to form a depression. Originally, menstrual blood would flow out unimpeded through the cervix, but because the depression forms in the cervical channel, some of the menstrual blood will accumulate in the depression, causing the subsequent menstrual blood to drip and not flow out.

What should I do if my menstrual bleeding continues after a cesarean section?

What are the precautions during menstruation after cesarean section?

1. Intense sports: high jump, long jump, running, football, etc. can induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. In addition, since the cervix is ​​slightly open during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade the uterine cavity and cause various gynecological inflammations. Therefore, swimming is not suitable during menstruation. It is also not suitable to participate in competitions during menstruation, so as to avoid excessive mental stress, endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

2. It is not suitable to drink strong tea or coffee: these beverages contain high caffeine content, which can easily stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as menstrual pain, prolonged menstruation and excessive menstrual bleeding.

3. It is not suitable to have sexual intercourse: During menstruation, the endometrium is peeled off and a wound is formed on the surface. If sexual intercourse occurs, it is easy to introduce bacteria, causing them to move retrograde and enter the uterine cavity, causing intrauterine infection.

4. It is not suitable to eat too salty food: Too salty food will increase the salt and water retention in the body. Before menstruation, it is easy to have symptoms such as headaches, emotional excitement and irritability.

5. Avoid eating raw and cold vegetables and fruits and cold drinks: raw and cold food will slow down blood circulation, thereby affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstrual blood, causing adverse discharge of menstrual blood and causing menstrual pain.

6. Avoid eating seafood: Most seafood is cold in nature, known as the "yang in yin". After cold food enters the esophagus, the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract will contract due to the cold, weakening the gastrointestinal digestive ability, leading to diarrhea and other phenomena.

7. It is not advisable to take sitting baths or tub baths: During menstruation, the cervix is ​​slightly open, and sitting baths and tub baths can easily allow sewage to enter the uterine cavity and cause inflammation.

8. It is not advisable to wear tight clothes: Tight pants with small hip circumference will put pressure on local micro-capillaries, thereby affecting blood circulation and causing congestion and edema in the genitals.
