Why do I have pain on the left side of my lower abdomen one month after my abortion?

Nowadays, more and more women are suffering from infertility, and abortion is the main culprit of female infertility. More and more modern women are undergoing abortion surgery. Frequent abortions can cause great damage to the uterus. If the recovery is not good, it can easily lead to the risk of infertility. Improper operation during abortion surgery can also lead to postoperative complications, making the condition more and more serious. So what is the cause of various abdominal pains after surgery?

Reason 1: Intrauterine hemorrhage: It often occurs within a few hours after surgery. The patient has unbearable abdominal pain, like a knife cutting, and a small amount of blood and water flows out of the vagina. Gynecological examination reveals that the uterus is significantly enlarged, soft, and tender. The number of people who develop intrauterine hematoma is also very small, but it is more likely to occur in women with an overly tilted uterus and a tight cervix.

Reason 2: Incomplete abortion: Artificial abortion operations sometimes fail. Incomplete abortion means that the chorionic and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely removed during surgery. After the operation, the uterus undergoes paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. When an incomplete miscarriage occurs, a curettage is usually required to scrape out the remaining embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, and the abdominal pain will disappear naturally. Strengthen anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery to prevent infection.

Reason three: Uterine perforation: This is a very serious complication that occurs during abortion surgery. Most patients experience sudden and severe abdominal pain during perforation, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is continuous, with a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If combined with internal bleeding, it may cause peritoneal irritation signs: abdominal pain that refuses to be pressed, and tenderness and rebound pain exist at the same time. If the perforation is small and there is no damage to internal organs such as the bladder and rectum, and there is no internal bleeding, conservative treatment can be used.

Reason 4: Postoperative infection: This is one of the most common short-term complications of artificial abortion. Postoperative infection often occurs within two weeks after surgery. It can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by the patient's failure to pay attention to hygiene after surgery, such as having sexual intercourse, swimming, etc.
