When a woman accidentally becomes pregnant and wants to end the pregnancy, she can undergo an abortion. When the pregnancy is relatively short, people can choose to have a medical abortion, which can reduce the risk of complications. If the pregnancy exceeds 49 days, an abortion surgery is required. So, what should I do if I experience abdominal pain after an abortion?
If female friends experience abdominal pain after an abortion, measures should be taken based on the cause of the pain. If the pain is caused by uterine contractions, it is a normal situation. The pain is not very severe and the duration is relatively short. At this time, you can massage and apply heat to the abdomen, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.
If the abdominal pain after abortion is caused by endometritis, everyone needs to be vigilant and closely observe, such as vaginal bleeding and whether there is any odor in vaginal discharge. When women suffer from endometritis, they should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid worsening the condition and causing greater harm to the body.
After undergoing an abortion, women may experience vaginal bleeding symptoms. If the amount of bleeding is found to be large, exceeding menstrual flow, or if the bleeding has lasted for ten days and accompanied by abdominal pain, it is likely to be caused by residue in the uterine cavity. At this time, medication that promotes uterine contractions should be taken, and if necessary, a curettage surgery should be performed.
