Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. I didn't use protection during sex before, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. What should I do if I have bleeding and lower back pain after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After painless surgery, there is no need for immediate on-the-job training; you should rest for a period of time. Because in the period after a painless abortion, the mental trauma on the endometrium has not yet fully recovered, the cervix is relaxed, and the original mucus plug in the cervix has been replaced, but a new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to hygiene of the vulva at this time, bacteria from the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity, leading to infection. It is recommended to have the procedure performed in a formal obstetrics and gynecology hospital. Because after an abortion, there needs to be good rest and thorough recovery, women need to prepare for postoperative care and recovery training to avoid conditions such as inflammation and infection. Patients need to go to a formal tertiary hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific condition, so that they can receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
