Patient's question:
Because I am still in university, when I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago, I immediately went to the hospital with my boyfriend to have an abortion. Everything else is fine, but I've been having stomach pain after the procedure, and it's been very painful—coming in waves, sometimes even worse than menstrual cramps. I would like to ask the doctor for advice on what to do about the stomach pain after an abortion.Doctor's answer:
If a woman experiences abdominal pain again shortly after surgery, it is usually caused by uterine contractions, which is a normal postoperative physiological response. If the abdominal pain persists significantly several days after surgery, it may indicate a recurrence of intrauterine infection, leading to acute pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital for tests such as ultrasound and blood tests. If acute pelvic inflammatory disease is confirmed, timely antibiotic treatment is advised.
