Is it normal to have mild abdominal pain for 3 days after an abortion without pain?

Patient's question:

Painless abortion followed by mild abdominal pain for 3 days, is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
Anyone who has undergone an induced abortion knows that the procedure involves removing the embryonic tissue attached to the endometrium. This inevitably causes some degree of damage to the endometrium. Although it is performed under anesthesia, mild abdominal pain may still occur after the anesthetic is metabolized. It is recommended to continue close monitoring.
Avoid eating raw, cold, or irritating foods. It is best to rest actively and pay attention to the amount of bleeding. Once the bleeding has stopped, it is advisable to go to the hospital promptly for an ultrasound examination to determine whether the abortion is complete.
