What is the reason for lower back pain on the third day of medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor:
Hello! It's the third day of the medication abortion. The most noticeable 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 leading to abnormal uterine contractions. It is also possible that there is a uterine cavity infection. It is recommended that you have a gynecological color Doppler 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. Avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths for one month.
