Patient's question:
Not married and accidentally pregnant, had to have an abortion. After the abortion, there was constant bleeding from the vagina, and the breasts were extremely sore. I couldn't even lie half-reclined during my afternoon nap. Is it normal for breasts to be sore after an abortion? What could be the reason? Seeking answers.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, due to the increase in hormone levels in the body, the breasts may become swollen and painful. After an induced abortion, as the hormone levels in the body gradually decrease and return to normal, the symptoms of breast swelling and pain will gradually stabilize. If the hand touches the breast and encounters a lump, swelling, and pain, it may be possible to have conditions such as hyperplasia or fibroadenoma cysts. It is better to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, undergo a color Doppler MRI of the breast, and receive symptomatic treatment after diagnosis.
