What should I do if my stomach hurts after an abortion?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital yesterday for an abortion. After it was done, my stomach has been hurting ever since. How should I deal with stomach pain after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After you had a miscarriage at the hospital, you experienced abdominal pain. The miscarriage procedure itself can be harmful to the uterus, potentially damaging the endometrium and causing pain. After a miscarriage, the uterus will also contract, leading to abdominal pain. First, allow some time for complete recovery, and this pain will gradually decrease. One week after the miscarriage, you should also go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to carefully observe how the fetus is completely expelled.
