Patient's question:
I had a uterine adenomyoma and cervical polyp D&C surgery. After the surgery, I inserted a Mirena IUD. It's been half a month now, and I'm experiencing lower abdominal pain, breast tenderness, and lower back pain. It feels like my period is coming, and the symptoms are the same as before the surgery. But I don't know if it's my period or something else. Is it normal, or could it be a side effect from taking one packet of metronidazole effervescent tablets? Please help me.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you've just had surgery about half a month ago, and it's still before the time of your expected menstrual period. In this case, it could be possible that the abdominal bloating and pain are caused by vaginal medication or an unsuitable intrauterine device (IUD). It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a few days of careful observation. As long as your menstrual period arrives on time, this interference will not be significant. After your period starts, the bloating and pain should naturally subside.
