Patient's question:
Friend had an abortion today, just got home and layed down on the bed when her stomach started hurting really bad, and she was bleeding. She got scared. I rushed back to help, quickly took her to the hospital. Asking for advice, what's going on with post-abortion bleeding and stomach pain? Will this cause some kind of underlying disease?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, it is usually necessary to experience 3 to 7 days of bleeding. This is a normal physiological response after an induced abortion procedure. The essence of an induced abortion is to forcibly and completely remove the endometrium through surgery. After the surgery is completed, some bleeding is bound to occur. This is nothing to worry about. As for abdominal pain, it is also normal. You should mainly avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to cold.
