Patient's question:
I accidentally discovered that I was pregnant a few weeks ago and had an abortion. However, since the last time I had an abortion, I've noticed that I often experience lower back pain. Sometimes I can't even straighten up my back. I don't know what to do and would like to ask the doctor if this is normal?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, most women have weakened immunity and resistance. During this period, there may be a secondary infection in the reproductive system. Therefore, it is common to experience symptoms of lower back pain after an induced abortion, and there may be signs of pelvic effusion. This is a manifestation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which is related to the induced abortion procedure. In this case, it is necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination and a vaginal double examination to confirm the diagnosis. Symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
