[Endometrial Adhesions] If Your Menstrual Flow Has Decreased and You’re Having Trouble Getting Pregnant, Here’s What to Check First

  • Endometrial adhesions refer to a condition in which the inner walls of the uterus stick together, which can affect the shape of the uterine cavity or the flow of menstrual blood.
  • If your menstrual flow has noticeably decreased or stopped following a D&C after a miscarriage, uterine surgery, or an intrauterine infection, or if you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an OB/GYN to determine whether an evaluation of the uterine cavity is necessary.
  • It can be concerning if your menstrual flow decreases significantly compared to before after a miscarriage or childbirth, or if you experience lower abdominal pain around your expected period but have almost no bleeding.

[Spotting in Early Pregnancy] If you experience spotting in early pregnancy, you should first determine whether it is a sign of a threatened miscarriage.

  • Ulsan When consulting on spotting during early pregnancy, the first things to consider—rather than the amount of blood—are “the gestational age, whether pain is present, changes in color, recurrence, and the results of ultrasound and blood tests.”
  • Although a small amount of brown discharge in early pregnancy does not necessarily lead to a miscarriage, you should seek prompt evaluation from an obstetrician-gynecologist if you experience increased bright red bleeding, lower abdominal pain, or have a history of miscarriage.
  • Korean medicine clinic Unless test results indicate an emergency, our treatment focuses on helping you achieve physical stability, recover from fatigue, stabilize your uterine environment, and establish a healthy lifestyle plan to follow until your next checkup.
