Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to consult you. Last month, I went to the hospital for an induced abortion and uterine scraping. After the procedure, I've been feeling lower back pain and weakness. I would like to consult you about why my lower back hurts after the abortion, whether the surgery wasn't performed cleanly, and whether 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. After an abortion, a woman's body is already weakened, so this is a normal phenomenon. It is essential to properly rest and 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 post-abortion to avoid overexertion, and it is best to stay in bed for two to three days. Intercourse is not allowed within 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.
