What is the reason for lower abdominal pain 8 days after an abortion?

Patient's question:

On the eighth day after the painless abortion, my lower abdomen sometimes hurts. It's basically painful every day, but not constantly. Now I feel a pain in the lower part, what could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

You may have a very small amount of bleeding or no bleeding one week after a miscarriage, which is normal. There may be varying degrees of uterine contractions accompanied by pain. Currently, you can go to the hospital for an examination to check how far along the miscarriage is and rule out the possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. It is recommended that if you are not planning to get pregnant, you should take appropriate contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Frequent miscarriages can be harmful to your body and the endometrium. Condoms, breastfeeding, or inserting an intrauterine device after your period are safer options. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
