Patient's question:
Three and a half months ago, I accidentally got pregnant, and after discussing it with my girlfriend, we decided to have an abortion. I have been taking good care of her body ever since, and now she has almost fully recovered. Yesterday was the first time we had sex after the abortion. Three days later, she said her lower back was very sore. I don't know why having sex after an abortion can cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, some people experience lower back pain, which may be due to pelvic inflammation. The body's resistance is relatively low and the constitution is weak after an induced abortion. Premature sexual activity can easily lead to bacteria entering the pelvic cavity, potentially causing pelvic inflammatory disease again. This can result in a series of symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, etc. It is necessary to use medication for anti-inflammatory treatment, and at the same time, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. Rest more, avoid prolonged sitting and standing. The diet should be light.
