Revealed: Four major causes of amenorrhea after abortion

Introduction: Why did my aunt never come after the abortion? Here I will tell you why this symptom occurs. Women should understand this physiological knowledge.

Reason 1: Cervical adhesions

After the basement membrane protective layer of the endometrium is destroyed, it may lead to cervical adhesions and prevent menstrual blood from being discharged. At this time , the patient will have periodic lower abdominal pain and vaginal swelling, and hematometra may also be seen during gynecological examination.

Reason 2: Dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis system

Once some women with unintended pregnancies learn that they are pregnant, they will become very nervous and anxious, and When faced with artificial abortion, fear and nervousness will also arise. This negative emotion disrupts the function between the central nervous system and the hypothalamus, and causes ovulation dysfunction through the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis, thus leading to amenorrhea.

Reason 3 for post-abortion amenorrhea: Damage to the endometrium

Although the endometrium has strong regenerative capacity, menstruation and fertility are impaired after curettage. Recovery is still affected by the degree to which the endometrium is scraped off. Some women choose some small clinics for various reasons. During the operation, improper operations such as excessive suction and curettage of the uterine wall, excessive negative pressure during suction, and too long suction and curettage time, or due to artificial abortion by the women themselves. Too many times lead to mechanical damage to the endometrium, further destroying the protective layer of the basement membrane, causing the endometrium to lose its normal ability to repair and proliferate, and there is no normal endometrium for shedding, so amenorrhea occurs. phenomenon. In addition, after the endometrium is lost, the front and back walls of the uterus can easily stick together. When the area of ??endometrial damage is relatively small, it often manifests as scant menstruation clinically. In this case, it is usually possible to cure it through active treatment. However, if the endometrial damage is large and leads to anterior and posterior wall adhesions, If so, it may cause permanent amenorrhea. At present, hysteroscopy can detect intrauterine adhesions and cervical adhesions in a timely manner, providing important help for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Reason 4: Premature sexual intercourse after artificial abortion

Usually women should avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month after artificial abortion. Sexual life may cause the uterus that has not yet been repaired to become infected, thus affecting its normal repair and even causing an inflammatory reaction, ultimately leading to amenorrhea.
