How to deal with stomach pain after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

I just took the abortion pill today, and the stomach pain is unbearable. What should I do about the stomach pain after medication abortion? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal to have abdominal pain after taking medication for medication abortion. This is because the uterus contracts, which helps to expel the embryo. If the pain is severe, you can use a warm pad to apply to your abdomen. Generally, about four hours after taking misoprostol, the embryo will be expelled. Pay attention to preventing cold and monitoring the condition of vaginal bleeding. If there is heavy bleeding at any time, a D&C procedure may be necessary.
