Is it normal to have lower abdominal pain for five days after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

After an abortion surgery, I've been feeling severe pain in my lower abdomen. Hello, is it normal to have lower abdominal pain on the fifth day after the abortion?

Doctor's answer:

The damage caused by to the endometrium is very significant. Currently, experiencing persistent dull pain is normal, as this is due to the relatively short period since the procedure or because the body hasn't fully recovered yet. During this time, it's important to enhance nutrition and consume more high-protein foods. This sensation will gradually disappear. Additionally, taking oral antibiotics for a few days is necessary to prevent infection. Typically, the body fully recovers within about a month.
