Dysmenorrhea after abortion

Although abortion technology is now very mature, it can also reduce the harm to women's bodies to a great extent. But it is impossible to say that abortion has no effect on the body. Many women experience dysmenorrhea in the months following an abortion. At this time, because abortion will disrupt the menstrual cycle and status, if dysmenorrhea persists, treatment is recommended.

Termination of pregnancy by artificial or medical methods within 3 months of pregnancy is called early pregnancy termination, also known as artificial abortion. It is used as a remedy for unexpected pregnancy due to contraceptive failure. It is also used for those who need to terminate pregnancy due to illness or to prevent congenital malformations or genetic diseases. Artificial abortion can be divided into two methods: surgical abortion and medical abortion. Commonly used methods include vacuum aspiration abortion, forceps curettage abortion and medical abortion.

Many women, especially unmarried women, mistakenly believe that medical abortion is not a surgery and will not harm the body. In fact, medical abortion, like vacuum abortion, is an artificial intervention in the physiological process of pregnancy, which will harm women's health to a certain extent.

(1) Infection. After a woman takes anti-pregnancy drugs, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterus is poorly restored, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks or even 1 to 2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

(2) Incomplete abortion. Some women suffer incomplete miscarriage after taking the medicine, which affects uterine contraction and the repair of endometrial wounds, and causes a significant increase in vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock, requiring blood transfusions and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis.

(3) Impact on subsequent pregnancy. If unmarried women have multiple births or repeated miscarriages, the endometrium may be repeatedly damaged. During pregnancy, placenta previa is prone to occur, which can cause heavy bleeding before and during delivery. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage or even secondary infertility due to multiple artificial abortions.

(4) Menstrual disorders. Drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are manifested by shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.
