Patient's question:
Just a couple of days after taking the medication for a medical abortion, my stomach still hurts, a bit like the feeling during my menstrual period. My lower back also aches. Is this normal? How long will it take for the pain to go away?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that after medication-induced abortion, you experienced uterine contractions, which led to abdominal pain. This situation can be assessed through an ultrasound examination to check for any retained tissue in the uterine cavity. If no retained tissue is found, you can rest assured. Additionally, treatments such as Gongxuening, Yi musha (Motherwort), and abdominal warmth can help alleviate your abdominal pain and allow it to subside more quickly.
