Why does my waist hurt after having an abortion?

I believe that many young women often experience symptoms of low back pain after abortion. Although everyone thinks that there is no problem with abortion because they are young, it is inevitable that they will encounter some physical complications. If low back pain occurs, you should first pay attention to rest more, observe the symptoms after abortion in time, and be careful not to be blown by the wind to avoid catching cold.

Experts believe that lower back pain after abortion is most likely caused by some blood stasis flowing into the pelvic cavity and blocking it during the abortion, or by a slight movement of the uterus during curettage, which compresses the nerves in the waist. In addition, lower back pain after abortion may also be an external manifestation of gynecological diseases. Pelvic inflammatory disease and severe cervical erosion can cause lower back pain. If your lower back pain is severe, you must go to the hospital for a check-up in time. If the back pain after abortion is not very strong and only occurs in the first few days after the abortion, then it should be relatively mild. As long as you pay attention to more rest and proper massage, you can gradually recover. If the pain is very strong and has exceeded the recovery time after bleeding (the general bleeding time is 3-7 days, and the longest will not exceed 15 days), then you should go to the hospital for treatment.

However, the most important reason for lower back pain after abortion is not giving yourself enough time to rest. You need to stay in bed and rest after an abortion. You need to pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition after an abortion. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after the abortion. In terms of nutrition, you need to strengthen it appropriately, but you don't have to take supplements blindly. You should take in enough protein to enhance the body's resistance to miscarriage and promote the early repair of injured organs. Eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery. In addition, the vulva should be kept clean and hygienic, and sexual intercourse should be avoided within one month and a bath should be avoided within half a month to avoid bacterial invasion and infection.

Experts suggest that in order to avoid lower back pain after abortion, everyone must pay attention to the following after the operation: lying posture and appropriate exercise of the waist muscles. The lower back pain after abortion is more severe when touching cold water, so women should not catch cold after the operation. Generally, you should rest in bed for 3-5 days after the operation. If your body temperature is normal, there is little bloody secretions from the vagina, and you have no abdominal pain or other discomfort, you can get up and move around, and do some light housework. It is also best not to have sex within one month after an abortion, adhere to contraception, and implement contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again.

The symptoms of lower back pain will gradually disappear after abortion. However, the prerequisite is that everyone should do a good job of postoperative care. Getting plenty of rest and improving nutrition are essential.
