Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello! It's the third day of the medication abortion. The most obvious symptom I'm experiencing is lower back pain. How long do you think this symptom will last?
Doctor's answer:
Pain in the abdomen after medication-induced abortion may be due to poor uterine contractions, residual tissue or blood clots in the uterine cavity causing abnormal uterine contractions, or it could also be a possibility of uterine cavity infection. It is recommended that you have a gynecological ultrasound to check the recovery of your uterus. If there is blood clots in the uterine cavity, you can take Motherwort or Xuefu Zhuyu Capsules to promote the discharge of blood clots. Additionally, take anti-inflammatory medication to prevent uterine cavity infection. At the same time, pay attention to rest and avoid getting cold. Abstain from sexual intercourse and avoid tub baths for one month.
