Patient's question:
My girlfriend is pregnant, but for various reasons, we cannot keep this child. Later, I took her to the hospital to have a medication abortion. Now she tells me she wants to have a bowel movement, and I don't know if it's normal. So I want to ask if it's normal to have a bowel movement during a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if you need to have a bowel movement during the medication abortion process, it is also a relatively normal situation. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower back pain. It is recommended that after completing the medication abortion, the patient should pay close attention to rest and maintain personal hygiene. During this period, it is important to strictly avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. Additionally, it is important to provide the patient with proper nutrition and help them regulate their body in daily life.
