20 days after medical abortion, I have dull pain in my lower abdomen

Medical abortion is a more common method of abortion nowadays. It is more cost-effective than artificial abortion, but there are certain risks in medical abortion. There is a possibility of incomplete medical abortion, and it may also cause internal bleeding and other conditions. It requires appropriate medication under the guidance of a specialist to induce abortion. Stomach pain may occur after abortion. So, what should I do if I have lower abdominal pain after medical abortion?

Abdominal pain after medical abortion is a normal reaction after abortion. Because the medicines taken by the patient will irritate the uterus, and the uterus will not recover immediately after abortion, there will be mild abdominal pain for a few days. As long as the abdominal pain is not obvious or not severe, the patient can bear it and there is no need to be too nervous. It will gradually improve and alleviate on its own as the uterus recovers and lochia is discharged. Usually, it is enough to prevent intrauterine infection. Antibiotics and anti-infection treatment should be taken within three days after abortion, and attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm. Appropriate use of local hot compresses to improve abdominal pain symptoms will have certain benefits. Drinking more warm water and brown sugar ginger water will be of certain help during this period.

Medical abortion must avoid excessive fatigue, and avoid catching a cold in the abdomen, otherwise the abdominal pain will become more serious. If the patient has obvious lower abdominal pain or it lasts too long, you should be alert. It may be caused by intrauterine infection or medical abortion. You need to go to a professional hospital for examination in time. A B-ultrasound examination can reveal the details, and you can take active medication in the future.

After having a medical abortion, you should pay attention to rest. You must not exercise excessively or do heavy physical work during the period, otherwise it will affect your body's recovery. Especially when your body is weak, you should pay attention to bed rest for a few days. You cannot work in the short term, and you should also refrain from sexual intercourse for one month. Pay attention to private hygiene during this period.
