Patient's question:
My best friend has been experiencing prolonged abdominal pain after a natural miscarriage for several days. What could be the reason for this? What specific things should she pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of abdominal pain in women after natural miscarriage is believed to be related to uterine contractions to some extent. Generally, mild abdominal pain is not serious and does not require concern. After a natural miscarriage, taking Amoxicillin and Leonurus japonicus in sufficient amounts can help with uterine contractions and promote the removal of residual tissue. If post-abortion abdominal pain is severe, it is necessary to check for infection or incomplete miscarriage, and Dilation and Curettage (D&C) may be required. Abdominal cold compresses and massages can be applied, and sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene in the vaginal area to prevent infection. It is important to enhance nutrition after miscarriage and avoid spicy foods. It is recommended to have an ultrasound to check for retained products in the uterine cavity.
