Patient's question:
After two weeks of having an abortion, I have lower abdominal pain and back pain. Yesterday afternoon, I had a fever, but I didn't do anything about it. Today morning, the fever has gone down.Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion abdominal pain is a normal phenomenon. Some people may experience longer-lasting pain, as it varies from person to person. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene. If cleaning is not done correctly, it can easily lead to infection, causing abdominal pain. Abdominal pain is not due to infection but rather because the blood (lochia) inside the uterine cavity has not been completely expelled. This will improve after a few days. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to postoperative care and health maintenance. Post-abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
