What are the causes of scanty menstrual flow after spontaneous abortion, and what are the preventive measures?

Many female friends have irregular menstruation, either heavy menstrual flow, light menstrual flow, or dysmenorrhea. It is a painful thing every time you have your period. Some female friends have less menstrual flow after a miscarriage. So what are the reasons for light menstrual flow and what are the preventive measures for light menstrual flow? Let me introduce them to you below.

Why does menstrual flow decrease after miscarriage?

1. Uterine hypoplasia. Menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium that occurs with changes in the ovarian cycle. If the uterus is hypoplastic, such as a very small or deformed uterus, only a small amount of endometrium will be shed in each physiological cycle, resulting in scanty menstruation. In addition, scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea may occur if endometrial lesions are caused by endometrial tuberculosis or the endometrium is damaged by curettage.

2. Abnormal hormone secretion. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of the female endometrium. If the hormone secretion in the body is abnormal, the proliferation of the endometrium will not reach the required thickness, resulting in less menstrual volume. Excessive dieting, irregular work and rest, bad mood, reproductive system diseases, etc. will affect the female endocrine environment, leading to abnormal hormone secretion and less menstrual volume.

3. Anovulatory menstruation. Anovulatory menstruation is generally manifested as a woman's menstrual cycle of less than 21 days, no mature follicles, no corpus luteum production, no progesterone secretion, and estrogen levels increase and decrease with the growth and atrophy of follicles. When estrogen levels suddenly drop, withdrawal bleeding will occur and menstruation will occur, but in this case the menstrual volume will be very small.

Preventive measures for light menstrual flow

1. Pay attention to your diet. About a week before menstruation, women should avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods. They can drink more water, eat foods rich in fiber, and keep their bowels open. During menstruation, you can regulate your body by drinking brown sugar water.

2. Eliminate fatigue. If the body is overworked, the function of the body organs will be affected, and the metabolism will also be adversely affected. Therefore, during menstruation, women should avoid intense and prolonged exercise, pay attention to rest, ensure sleep, have a regular life and work schedule, and avoid staying up late.

3. Keep warm. In addition to not eating raw or cold food, women with low menstrual flow should avoid cold water, especially cold showers during menstruation. If you sit in an air-conditioned room for a long time, it is best to put on a thin blanket and keep warm to avoid catching a cold.

Tips: Women should pay attention to the hygiene of their external genitalia, especially during menstruation, to prevent infection. Choose soft, cotton underwear with good ventilation and permeability, and wash and change underwear frequently. Put the changed underwear in the sun to dry. Do not have sex during menstruation.
