Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:I had an abortion under anesthesia on November 23. I had a follow-up check-up around December 10, and the B-ultrasound showed that my uterus had recovered well. It detected a slight case of candidiasis vaginitis, for which I took medication for about a week. Now my vaginal discharge is almost normal. On December 22, I had a single sexual encounter. Around December 20, I experienced some abdominal bloating and pain, accompanied by lower back discomfort, thinking it might be my period. However, it hasn’t arrived yet. Is this a problem? Do I need to follow up?
Medical history:
In June 2004, I had a medication-induced abortion. In August 2004, I had another medication-induced abortion. Due to tubal inflammation, I underwent a week of microwave treatment. My menstrual cycle is sometimes irregular.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal to experience abdominal pain and bleeding after an abortion without pain, which is mostly caused by uterine contractions. You can take Yimucao ointment to promote uterine contractions. If there are no abnormalities, you can eat after 2 hours. Avoid cold, spicy, and alcoholic foods. Focus on light, nutritious foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and products, as well as vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to keeping the perineum clean. Avoid tub baths when vaginal bleeding has not stopped, but you can take showers. Abstain from sexual activity for one month. Maintain a positive mood, and wish you a speedy recovery.
