Some couples do not want to have children too early after getting married, so they will take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. However, no contraceptive method can guarantee 100% effectiveness and unexpected pregnancies may occur. If you don't want to give birth after an unexpected pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for an abortion surgery, which is also a common way to terminate the pregnancy. So what should I do if I have stomach pain after an abortion? Can I rub my stomach?
It is best not to rub your stomach after an abortion, as the cause of the pain needs to be identified in order to receive targeted treatment. There are several reasons that can cause abdominal pain after an abortion, including:
1. Incomplete abortion
If the surgery is not completely performed and there are still residues in the uterus, it is possible to experience abdominal pain. Because abortion surgery is performed manually, some doctors may not be proficient enough in their techniques, which can result in residual embryonic tissue in the uterus. If not cleaned thoroughly, not only will there be abdominal pain, back pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms, but there may also be intrauterine infections. If the abortion is incomplete, you need to go to the hospital for another curettage to clean it up.
2. Improper postoperative care
After the abortion surgery, the body will be relatively weak and needs to be adjusted for a period of time to recover. However, some women do not pay attention, do not rest well, and do not adjust their diet, which can easily affect their physical recovery and lead to abdominal pain after miscarriage. If personal hygiene is not taken care of after surgery, bacteria can invade the body, easily causing inflammation and ultimately leading to abdominal pain. So after abortion, it is important to take good care of your body, adjust your diet, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
