Patient's question:
How long does it usually take for abdominal pain to stop after an abortion surgery? I had an abortion surgery about half a month ago and am resting at home now. Lately, I've been feeling abdominal pain. Is this normal? Do I need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? Could there be any problems?Doctor's answer:
An induced abortion procedure can be psychologically traumatic for the endometrium. Usually, the symptoms of abdominal pain after an induced abortion primarily occur within one week of the procedure. Based on the current situation, as it has been half a month since the procedure, it is relatively unlikely for abdominal pain symptoms to reappear at this stage. You can visit a local hospital for a follow-up examination to assess the complete recovery status after the surgery. Additionally, you can apply cold compresses to the lower abdomen and take oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
