Patient's question:
Got accidentally pregnant with my boyfriend. He took me to a private hospital. When we arrived, the doctor said because the pregnancy wasn't long, it could be terminated with medication. It's been several days since then, and I've been experiencing recurring abdominal pain. What should I do about the recurring abdominal pain after medication-induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
The medication abortion has repeatedly caused abdominal pain, which may be due to retained products of conception, or it could be a result of exposure to cold after the procedure. It is best to visit a hospital for a follow-up examination. If the pain is caused by retained products of conception, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary. After medication abortion, it is essential to pay close attention to body recovery, consume nutrient-rich foods such as those high in protein and vitamins, and take extra care to avoid cold exposure. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month.
