Patient's question:
Five days after the abortion, I had stomach pain. The doctor said there was inflammation and I was given 7 days of anti-inflammatory medication. Two days after the medication ended, my stomach pain returned, and I also had brownish discharge. I took another 7 days of anti-inflammatory medication. Will this condition affect future pregnancy? What should I do if I get pelvic inflammation after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After a patient undergoes an abortion procedure, they experience abdominal pain symptoms again, which is highly likely to be inflammation. After receiving intravenous medication for five days, the condition improved, but it worsened again two days later, accompanied by brown-colored vaginal discharge, indicating that the inflammation was not completely eliminated. Additionally, the remaining blood affects the color of the vaginal discharge. Essentially, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is highly unlikely to affect pregnancy, but it is very harmful to the fetus. It is best to first cure the PID before starting a pregnancy plan. In addition to symptomatic treatment for PID, the patient also needs to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to obtain good therapeutic effects.
