Patient's question:
My girlfriend accidentally got pregnant, and we are not ready for a child yet. So yesterday, I accompanied her to have an abortion. This morning, she told me her stomach hurts a lot and doesn't know if it's because she just had an abortion. I want to ask what to do if the stomach hurts a lot after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after a uterine surgery, lower abdominal pain symptoms may reappear within the first week due to uterine contractions promoting the expulsion of intrauterine blood clots. Accompanied by vaginal bleeding, this is a normal physiological response. If the pain is severe, it can be relieved by applying cold compresses, massaging the uterus, or using warm. Additionally, oral medications to promote uterine recovery can be taken for symptomatic relief. Maintain a light diet and pay attention to rest.
