After the abortion, why is my stomach bloated after 13 days?

Patient's question:

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex, and I ended up getting pregnant. After a thorough check, it was confirmed that I was pregnant. After much discussion, we decided to have an abortion because we didn't have a financial source. However, later I started experiencing abdominal discomfort. What could be the reason for the uterine cavity examination after the abortion? What is the cause of abdominal distension after taking medication for 13 days?

Doctor's answer:

Using medication for a uterine curettage, now 13 days post-procedure, I'm experiencing bloating again. If there's no vaginal bleeding, it could be due to ovulation. This situation is usually not serious, and you can focus on careful observation. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's possible that there could be a secondary infection. During this stage, it's important to carefully monitor for any vaginal discharge. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound follow-up to further confirm the diagnosis. Symptomatic treatment may be required if needed.
