    Cervical adhesion after abortion mainly manifests as abnormal menstruation, lower abdominal pain, infertility and other symptoms.

    Abnormal menstruation is the most common manifestation of cervical adhesions after abortion, usually manifesting as a significant decrease in menstrual flow or amenorrhea. Some patients may experience prolonged menstrual cycles or incomplete menstruation. Abnormal menstruation is mainly caused by cervical adhesions that block the discharge of menstrual blood.

    Lower abdominal pain is also a common symptom of cervical adhesion, often manifesting as periodic lower abdominal pain or lumbosacral soreness. The pain usually worsens before menstruation, and is more obvious when menstrual blood is not discharged smoothly. Patients with severe adhesions may experience persistent lower abdominal pain.

    Infertility is a serious consequence of cervical adhesion. Due to the stenosis or atresia of the cervical canal, sperm cannot enter the uterine cavity through the cervix, resulting in difficulty in conception. Some patients may present with recurrent miscarriage or premature delivery, which is related to impaired cervical function.

    A small number of patients may have abnormal leucorrhea, which may be increased in amount or purulent. This situation often indicates co-infection and requires prompt medical treatment. A very small number of patients with severe adhesions may experience urinary symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

    Cervical adhesion after abortion may also be accompanied by symptoms such as lumbosacral soreness and sexual intercourse pain. These symptoms usually worsen during the menstrual period and affect the patient's quality of daily life. It is worth noting that some patients with mild adhesions may have no obvious symptoms and are only discovered during gynecological examination.

    After abortion, you should pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor. Keep the vulva clean, and prohibit bathing and sexual intercourse within 1 month after surgery. You should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. to promote body recovery. Postoperative review should be carried out regularly according to the doctor's instructions, and any abnormality should be sought in time. Proper pelvic floor muscle exercises can help prevent adhesions, but they must be done under the guidance of a doctor.
