Why do I have lower abdominal pain after miscarriage?

Nowadays, many unmarried women have had sex. Some girls do not know how to cherish their bodies and get pregnant without taking proper contraceptive measures. They usually go to the hospital for an abortion. Abortion surgery can cause various complications, so lower abdominal pain may occur after the operation. The following will explain in detail why this phenomenon occurs.

The normal condition after an abortion is: a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which may be bright red, dark brown, light pink or light brown in color, generally without blood clots, and the bleeding will stop within 2 weeks. There may be slight lower abdominal pain on the day of operation, which will disappear later or may occasionally occur.

If the patient has significant abdominal pain after surgery, it is abnormal and may be caused by the following reasons:

(1) Incomplete abortion: Abortion surgery sometimes fails. 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.

(2) Postoperative infection: This is one of the possible complications after abortion surgery. 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.

(3) Uterine perforation: This is a very serious complication that may occur 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.

(4) Intrauterine hemorrhage: This usually occurs within a few hours after surgery. The patient suffers from unbearable abdominal pain, as if cut by a knife, and a small amount of blood and fluid flows out of the vagina.

The symptoms of lower abdominal pain after abortion are basically caused by the phenomena introduced above. Therefore, female comrades are reminded here that regardless of whether there are complications after abortion, the operation will cause certain damage to the body, so contraceptive measures must be taken to avoid too many abortions affecting future fertility.
