Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Recently, I got pregnant due to sexual intercourse, and with my boyfriend's company, I had an abortion. However, ten days after the abortion, my stomach is in pain. What should I do? Did my body leave behind any underlying conditions? Are there any solutions? What should I pay attention to in my daily lifestyle and dietary habits?Doctor's answer:
If a woman experiences severe abdominal pain 10 days after an abortion, she should first check if she has had recent sexual activity after the procedure. Sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion can lead to abdominal pain, infection, and a risk of re-pregnancy. If she has not had sexual activity but still experiences abdominal pain, she should have an ultrasound performed to check for any remaining tissue that may be causing uterine cramps. If the remaining tissue in the uterine cavity is substantial, a second surgical procedure to remove the tissue may be necessary.
