Abdominal pain after abortion

Nowadays, many hospitals have launched painless abortion services. With the continuous development of medical technology, many female friends can choose the abortion method according to their own situation. Generally speaking, there won't be much risk if you go to a regular hospital for an abortion. So, what causes lower abdominal pain after abortion? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Why do I have stomach pain after abortion?

Abortion surgery will increase the chance of reflux of uterine decidua into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis; uterine cavity operation is also more likely to increase the chance of infection, causing endometritis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, adnexitis, etc. The above factors can lead to irregular menstruation and cause symptoms of lower abdominal pain.

If you experience lower abdominal pain one month after an abortion, it may be due to an infection in the uterine cavity caused by the patient having sex too early. Generally speaking, infection after an abortion occurs within two weeks after the operation. It can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by the patient's lack of attention to hygiene after the operation, such as having sex too early, swimming in a public swimming pool, and other reasons. It usually leads to acute pelvic inflammatory disease, severe abdominal pain, which is continuous or may be paroxysmal, and is accompanied by fever, chills, vaginal bleeding, bright red bloody bleeding, fishy odor, or yellow discharge. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

2. Abdominal pain after abortion may be caused by incomplete abortion

Abortion procedures sometimes fail. Incomplete abortion means that the chorionic and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely removed during surgery. After the operation, 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 during the attacks, and there is 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, and the attacks recur in this way. When an incomplete miscarriage occurs, a curettage is usually required to scrape out the remaining embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, and the abdominal pain will disappear naturally. Strengthen anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery to prevent infection.

3. Is it normal to have lower abdominal pain after abortion?
