Patient's question:
I went to the hospital to have a medication abortion a few days ago. Now I'm feeling stomach pain. What could be the reason for stomach pain three days after a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of abdominal pain three days after a medication-induced abortion may be caused by the natural uterine contractions due to incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to focus on taking medication that promotes uterine contractions and reduces inflammation. Around ten days later, visit a hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination to check the completeness of the miscarriage and determine if a D&C procedure is necessary. If the miscarriage is incomplete, it is important to undergo a D&C as soon as possible, followed by continued medication to promote uterine contractions and reduce inflammation. A follow-up ultrasound examination should be conducted seven days later.
