Doctor's answer:
Hello, in fact, generally speaking, after a normal pregnancy, it is possible to experience mild abdominal bloating and pain, as well as a sensation of heaviness. Of course, threatened miscarriage can also cause these symptoms. Since you did not experience these symptoms after your miscarriage, it suggests that you likely do not have pelvic inflammatory disease, otherwise, you would still have symptoms.I recommend that you rest and have a follow-up check-up at a regular hospital. During the early stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided, exposure to radiation should be prevented, and contact with toxic chemicals should be avoided to prevent fetal developmental abnormalities, miscarriage, or other complications. Maintain a balanced diet. Pregnancy may cause mild lower abdominal discomfort. Some people may feel it as a dragging pain, while chest tightness and nausea are normal early pregnancy symptoms. It is advisable to undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
