No Menstruation After D & C 5 Months ago

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what could have happened? This one has me stumped.

Any sensible replies welcome. No Spammers please.

I had one and my menstral cycle was light and slowed after. From what I

gather - since it scrapes away the lining of the uterus, until it has rebuilt

itself well you wont menstrate or at least will menstarte very light.

Hi!

 

I am brand new here, and this is my first post.

I have never had a D & C myself but know many people who have.

There are several things that come to my mind that could cause a

lack of menstruation afterwards.

First off, the D & C and the events predeceding it could have caused

some hormonal imbalance, thus shutting down your cycle. Or, and this

would be worse, your uterine lining could have gotten hurt in the

D & C process, causing something that is called " Ashermans syndrome "

which means that your lining got mechanically damaged and is no

longer able to build up.

If you wanted to know wheter you have hormonal imbalances you should

go to an Obgyn and get some blood drawn to measure the following

hormones: prolactine, FSH, LH, estradiol. To see if your uterine

lining is scarred, you should probably do an ultrasound. This should

give you aclearer picture of what is going on here.

I hope this helps any...if you do not feel comfortable to discuss

these matters in public, feel free to email me offline,ok?

 

Take care,

HHMMM. That is curious. May depend on how old you are. I am 45 and had

one a little over 2 years ago for heavy bleeding and clotting during

periods. I also had polyps. I worried at first about having it done

but, it was the best thing ever. My periods returned normally in a

month and, the clotting and heavy bleeding stopped to just a normal

flow. It took over 2 years for a minimal of clotting to come back. That

has since ceased as I no longer use tampax. This has also stopped any

cramping. The worst thing a woman can do is stick something into the

vagina, especially if it is a bleached white tampon. What has your

doctor said about it? Daphne

Three women I know had the same things occur. I thought perhaps age was

a factor since all were around 50.

As far as I know none have followed up with their doctors, they are

just happy to be done with periods.

Hello,

I had to have a d & c after an abnormal pap smear. My stupid doctor

said " you have to have it as soon as possible " , so off I went to get

it. After all was said and done, it turned out to be an ooooopps!.

Nothing was wrong with me, it was all a mistake. That was 14 years

ago.

 

A few years ago, I went to work for the largest pathology lab in

Nashville. Mailing pap smear results to doctors offices was my job,

among other things. While I worked there, I learned to read pap smears

from the lab techs. I also learned how little care and time is taken in

viewing the slides. And also that a huge percentage of false positives

and false negatives are produced.

 

After I realized that pap smears are utterly irrelevant tests, I stopped

getting them and haven't had one in years. I will only have one again

if I have a problem.

 

However, after my d & c, I do not recall noticing any difference in flow,

or length of cycle. You need an examination from another gyn.

 

Good Luck to you, Regards, Janet T.
