Why do I not have my period after curettage?

Lightening is a treatment technique of curettage that can help young women clean out some waste blood in the uterus. It can also clean out some residual substances that cannot be excreted in the uterus. However, in a short period of time after the operation, the patient will not have menstruation for a short time because the surface of the uterus is traumatized. As the condition recovers, the new endometrium will fall off after the uterus heals, and menstruation will begin to return to normal.

Precautions

Understand the indications and choose the appropriate time and procedure for different diseases. The doctor must be skilled in the technique to avoid various unnecessary complications, such as uterine perforation, heavy bleeding, incomplete curettage, postoperative uterine adhesions, infection, etc.

Postoperative Care

① After the abortion, you need to rest in the hospital for half an hour to one hour. You can leave the hospital only if you do not feel any special discomfort.

②Due to the pain stimulation during the operation, you may sweat a lot. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infection, and avoid excessive use of air conditioning in midsummer.

③ Due to trauma to the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.

④ Abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contraction after the operation, which usually subsides in about half an hour to an hour. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever after a few hours or days, please go to the hospital immediately.

⑤ Keep the perineum clean and dry, and change sanitary napkins frequently. Clean the vulva with warm salt water every night and dry it with a clean and dry cotton towel. The towel can be reused after being disinfected with salt water and exposed to the sun to dry.
