Does pain occur after an abortion procedure?

Patient's question:

I am more than two months pregnant and now want to have an abortion. Will it hurt after an abortion procedure? Will it affect fertility in the future?

Doctor's answer:

During the painless abortion procedure, you will not feel any pain because it is performed under general anesthesia. However, you may experience some pain about a week after the surgery, which is typically cramping due to the uterus contracting. This is a common occurrence after the procedure. The pain usually lasts for about a week, and you should not feel any pain after that.
After an abortion, it is important to follow up with anti-inflammatory and blood-activating treatments to regulate your menstrual cycle. Regular follow-up check-ups are also necessary.
