Patient's question:
I have been with my boyfriend for two or three years. At the beginning of this year, because I got drunk once and didn't take precautions while we were together, I found out I was pregnant. I had an abortion at the hospital. The past two days, I've suddenly been feeling stomach pain and wanted to ask if it's normal to have stomach pain after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is normal, but if the abdominal pain persists for a long time, it is necessary to undergo a follow-up examination. This may be due to residual tissue in the uterus or other complications causing the pain. After an induced abortion, you can drink some brown sugar water or motherwort granules to promote the discharge of lochia. Pay close attention to preventing abdominal cold and avoid getting cold. Moreover, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the procedure. It is essential to take effective contraceptive measures thereafter.
