Abdominal pain on the fourth day after miscarriage

There are many reasons for miscarriage, some are human-determined, and some are natural miscarriages. No matter what factors cause miscarriage, surgery will have an impact on women's bodies, and various abnormal conditions are likely to occur after surgery. Many women have abdominal pain on the fourth day after miscarriage, and different pains need to be solved in a targeted manner. So, what is the reason for stomach pain on the fourth day after miscarriage?

Generally speaking, abdominal pain in the first 2-3 days after abortion may be caused by uterine contraction and is a normal phenomenon. However, if the abdominal pain persists, other factors should be considered. If you continue to have abdominal pain after abortion, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and ask an expert for a detailed examination. The following three conditions are likely to occur:

1. Infection after abortion

This is one of the possible complications after abortion. Postoperative infection often occurs within two weeks after surgery. It can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by the patient's lack of attention to hygiene after surgery, such as having sexual intercourse, swimming, etc.

2. Incomplete abortion

After an abortion, the uterus undergoes paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. At this time, the patient has paroxysmal attacks of abdominal pain, which are unbearable. There is also increased vaginal bleeding, which is bright red in color and contains large blood clots. The abdominal pain is relieved after the blood clots are discharged.

3. Uterine blood accumulation

It usually occurs within a few hours after the abortion. The patient has unbearable abdominal pain, as if cut by a knife, 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.

4. Uterine perforation

Patients with this condition generally experience severe abdominal pain. Of course, a small number of people do not feel obvious pain. Experts say that the abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent, and a small amount of blood will appear in the vagina. If the uterine perforation is not serious and there is no internal bleeding, conservative treatment can be performed. However, if the uterine perforation is more serious, a uterine curettage operation is required, which is more harmful.
