Patient's question:
My daughter got pregnant before she was an adult, and the boy ran away. My husband and I were furious. We chose to have her undergo medication abortion because she's still a minor. However, three days later, her stomach started to hurt. What should I do after a medication abortion if her stomach hurts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, abdominal pain after three days of medication abortion. First, it is necessary to rule out residual embryonic tissue in the uterus. Timely hospitalization for a detailed abdominal ultrasound is required to further confirm the diagnosis. If residual tissue is present, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary. This situation must be taken very seriously, as delaying medical attention may affect future fertility. During this period, avoid exposing the patient to extremely cold or icy foods.
