How to Clear Out Uterine Waste?

Most of the waste inside the uterus is actually removed by normal menstruation. Sometimes, surgical curettage is needed for removal. However, the waste in the uterus is not the kind of waste we typically understand. It mainly refers to the aging of the endometrium before menstruation. This aged endometrium is referred to as uterine waste, and its long-term existence can lead to endometrial lesions.

1. For women, menstruation every month is a process of removing uterine waste. The first half of the menstrual cycle is the follicular phase, during which the endometrium gradually thickens. The second half of the menstrual cycle is the luteal phase, during which the endometrium further thickens, the corpus luteum shrinks, estrogen levels decline, and the endometrium sheds to cause menstruation. Therefore, maintaining regular lifestyle habits and regular menstruation is also a sign of reproductive health.

2. Uterine waste also includes residual debris from incomplete abortions or failed medical abortions. If these waste products remain in the uterus, they can cause significant harm to the human body as they may lead to infections. Therefore, when a fetus experiences fetal arrest, it is necessary to promptly remove the dead fetus. If not removed in time, secondary infections can spread to the fallopian tubes, causing damage to the fallopian tube mucosa and subsequent infertility.

3. To remove this waste, a B-ultrasound examination is needed to check for residual debris in the uterine cavity. Some cases can be treated with medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, while in other cases, a uterine cleaning surgery may be necessary to remove the waste.
