Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to consult you. Last month, I had an abortion and uterine scraping done at the hospital. After the procedure, I've been feeling constant lower back pain and weakness. I'd like to consult you about why my lower back hurts after the abortion, whether the surgery wasn't performed cleanly, and if I need to go to the hospital for further examination.Doctor's answer:
A woman experiencing post-abortion symptoms of lower back pain may be due to kidney deficiency. The body of a woman naturally becomes weak after an abortion, so this is a normal phenomenon. It is essential to properly recuperate after an abortion, otherwise it may reduce the chances of getting pregnant and may also lead to other health issues. Therefore, it is necessary to rest for two weeks after the procedure to avoid overexertion, and it is best to stay in bed for two or three days. Intercourse is not allowed for the first month, and a follow-up medical check-up is required two weeks after the procedure. In terms of diet, it is important to consume easily digestible and nutritious foods, similar to the postpartum period.
