Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia 3 days ago. The first two days there was a very small amount of bleeding, and today it's a bit more. Is there a problem with abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
Back pain after an induced abortion may be caused by blood clots that flow into the pelvic cavity and become lodged there during the procedure, or by rapid movement of the uterus due to scraping, which compresses the nerves in the lower back. Additionally, back pain after an induced abortion could be an external manifestation of gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease or severe cervical erosion, both of which can lead to back pain. If the back pain is severe, it is essential to seek medical re-examination promptly.
