Why do I have stomach and back pain after an abortion?

In modern life, women should take care of their health, especially when interacting with the opposite sex, they should take preventive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy from causing trouble in their lives. Once an unexpected pregnancy occurs, women need to think carefully about whether to have an abortion to eliminate the impact. However, abortion has great side effects on the body. For example, why do you have stomach pain and back pain after an abortion? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

The most common clinical cause of abdominal pain and back pain after an abortion is the retroflexion and retroversion of the uterus. After the abortion, the accumulated blood in the uterine cavity cannot be discharged as quickly as possible, which stimulates the contraction of the uterus and the retroperitoneum, causing lower abdominal pain and back pain. It is recommended to boil a bowl of hot brown sugar and ginger water and drink it, which can help the blood in the uterus flow out smoothly and relieve the symptoms of abdominal pain and back pain. If the pain symptoms do not ease after treatment but worsen, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination to rule out clinical symptoms caused by intrauterine residues or lower abdominal pain and back pain caused by uterine perforation. It is recommended that a B-ultrasound examination be performed clinically.

Generally speaking, the lower abdominal pain after an abortion will last about a week. If the patient still has lower abdominal pain more than seven days after the abortion, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Pelvic inflammation may be the cause of the lower abdominal pain. If the examination suggests pelvic inflammation, oral cephalosporin antibiotics and metronidazole antibiotics are needed for combined treatment. At the same time, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and you should pay attention to rest, keep warm, and avoid catching cold.

If the patient experiences lower abdominal pain after surgery accompanied by increased secretions, foul-smelling bleeding, fever and other clinical symptoms, it should be considered that the abdominal pain is caused by infection. If the patient has mild abdominal pain accompanied by backache after surgery, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, it should be considered that there is residual blood in the uterine cavity or poor uterine recovery causing lower abdominal pain.
