Patient's question:

I've been on medication abortion for three days. Why does my stomach still hurt?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, it is more likely that the cramping pain is caused by uterine contractions.
Advice: It is recommended to drink more brown sugar water, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and rest in bed absolutely. Within one month after medication-induced abortion, avoid (bathing in a tub) and sexual activity. After one week, promptly visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check if the medication-induced abortion is complete and whether the endometrium has recovered. If necessary, under the guidance of a doctor, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be performed.
