Why is the menstrual flow less after abortion?

After a woman has an abortion, the first menstruation is very important. The recovery of the woman's body after the abortion can be seen from the menstrual situation. Some people will have a delayed first menstruation and a small amount of menstruation. Let's take a look at why the menstrual volume is small after an abortion. The first menstruation after an abortion is generally about 1 month. Because after pregnancy, the hormone level in the body changes, and after an abortion, the hormone level cannot immediately return to the level before pregnancy. It takes about 30 days, and some people need 60-90 days. Therefore, menstruation will come about 30 days after an abortion, and menstruation will return to normal after about 1-2 months.

Menstrual conditions are often a signal of whether the body is healthy. Menstruation after abortion is affected by the recovery of the endometrium and ovaries and endocrine system, and may cause temporary abnormalities. The adjustment period can be 3 months. Generally, minor abnormalities are normal.

A gynecologist at the Beijing Air Force 466 Hospital said that common reasons for a small amount of menstrual flow after an abortion include various hormones, abnormal secretions, anovulation, problems with the endometrium itself, adhesions, and thin endometrium caused by miscarriage. Dark menstrual color may be related to endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, pelvic congestion, etc.

The time of menstruation after abortion varies according to the number of days of pregnancy. Generally, the first menstruation after early pregnancy abortion will come with the second menstrual cycle, but in many cases, due to different physical conditions, the endometrium is traumatized after abortion and needs a long time to recover. Some women may also suffer from menstrual disorders due to abortion. The 94th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army reminds that abortion causes changes in the body's hormones, which may also cause ovulation to be delayed, and menstruation is also delayed, so there is a phenomenon of no menstruation after abortion or for several months.

If the delay is more than 7-10 days, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Considering that you may be in the process of menstruation recovery after abortion, it is recommended that you observe closely. If the amount of blood is large or the bleeding does not stop, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
