Is it normal to have abdominal pain after curettage?

The harm of abortion to women is well known, but many people still choose this path, especially many students nowadays. Due to economic constraints, many people choose less formal hospitals. The medical equipment in these hospitals is not cleaned properly, which can easily cause postoperative infection. Many women always have abdominal distension and pain after curettage. This article analyzes the causes of abdominal bloating and pain, let’s take a look.

Some people choose irregular hospitals for curettage, or the doctor's operation technique is unskilled, which may cause damage to the uterus. After all, the instrument is relatively sharp and may cause wounds to the uterus. Once a wound occurs, it may cause bleeding. If the blood accumulates in the woman's uterus and cannot be discharged, it will cause swelling and also cause pain to the woman.

Some women are more sensitive to pain, so they will feel pain during and after the curettage. In this case, women can use painkillers to relieve pain under the guidance of a doctor. Some women do not pay attention to keeping their abdomen warm after curettage, or do strenuous exercise, which may cause problems with the wound. Therefore, women should pay attention to rest after curettage and avoid strenuous exercise.

Some women catch a cold or other diseases after curettage, and the bacteria in the body may invade the uterus and cause bloating and pain in the abdomen. Once this happens, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to find out the type of bacteria and use antibiotics for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Patients can drink more hot water to promote the excretion of germs in the body. They should maintain a calm mind and cooperate with treatment.

To sum up, it is common for women to experience abdominal distension and pain after curettage, because curettage itself may cause damage to the uterus, causing bleeding or inflammation, infection, etc. Once these situations occur, patients need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, because delaying the treatment will only cause the ulcerated tissue to expand and endanger the patient's health and life.
