Patient's question:
I had an abortion at the end of June this year. After the procedure, I didn't rest and still took my child up the stairs while living on the sixth floor. I went to the hospital with my child myself and also did some chores. By mid-September, I started feeling that I couldn't walk or do much work without experiencing lower back pain and left hip pain. By early November, even slightly more physical activity caused pain in my calf bones. I want to ask if these are lingering symptoms from not resting properly after the abortion.Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion "little postpartum illness" is just a folk term with no scientific basis. Based on the clinical symptoms you mentioned, lumbar disc herniation is considered. It is recommended to conduct a thorough lumbar spine CT scan for diagnosis. Timely and active treatment is necessary.
