What is the reason for lower abdominal pain five days after an abortion without pain?

Patient's question:

About a week after the painless abortion, there was some pain after the procedure. On the third day, the pain came and went occasionally. But today, on the fifth day, I suddenly experienced cramping-like pain in my abdomen, similar to menstrual pain. There is also a small amount of brown discharge from the vagina. Hello doctor, what could be the reason for this? Urgent... The kind of assistance I expect: I hope to receive assistance.

Doctor's answer:

This consideration is about blood clots in the uterus after an abortion. This is normal, and you just need to pay attention to hygiene.
Post-abortion precautions: Pay attention to nutrition after the surgery, eat more high-protein, easily digestible foods, and have frequent bowel movements; avoid stimulating foods such as chili peppers, ginger, raw garlic, strong tea, and coffee; avoid hot foods like mutton, beef, dog meat, and seafood; always keep the external genital area clean; strictly prohibit sexual activity and avoid hot baths for the first month after the surgery; pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion.
