Patient's question:
A woman is 27 years old this year. My boyfriend and I just got married, and we had sex recently with safe measures in place. However, I don't know what happened, but I ended up pregnant. I want to have an abortion. I would like to know what symptoms I might experience after having an abortion procedure.Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, mild lower abdominal discomfort, pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur on the same day. If the abdominal pain is severe, the vaginal bleeding is heavy, or the bleeding persists for an extended period beyond what is normal, it is important to seek follow-up medical attention. Additionally, after an abortion, most women's ovaries return to their premenopausal state within about one month, followed by the return of menstruation. Therefore, after an abortion, it is essential to use contraception measures as soon as sexual activity resumes to prevent pregnancy again.
