Why do I feel pain on both sides of my lower abdomen after an abortion? What should I do?

People's concepts about the four items have changed dramatically compared to a few years ago, and abortion is now a very common thing. It is not the first time for many women to have an abortion. Although painless abortion is becoming more and more widely used, it is still harmful to women's bodies. Many women experience pain on both sides of their lower abdomen after abortion. Now let me tell you what causes it.

Here are the reasons

1

First, it may be because the abortion was not complete, the fetal tissue in the uterus was not completely removed, and there will be frequent bleeding accompanied by blood clots. If this happens, you must go to the hospital for a surgery called "uterine cleaning" to remove the rest and you will be fine.

2

The second reason is infection caused after surgery, which may be caused by an unclean surgical environment or by not paying attention to genital hygiene after surgery. If some smelly objects are discharged from the genitals, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, as it may be a uterine or vaginal infection.

The third reason is that there is blood accumulation in the uterus. If the pain is too severe after the operation and there is bleeding in the vagina, you must go back to the hospital for examination and uterine curettage. Let the blood inside drain out.

Note: The following points should be noted after surgery:

1. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change sanitary napkins frequently.

2. Menstruation will come normally one month after the operation. If there is bleeding within one month, or if menstruation does not come for a long time, you should go to the hospital for a check-up in time.

3. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible. Generally, cold drinks should be avoided for 7-10 days after surgery, and spicy food should be avoided within one month.

4. Once you resume your sexual life after surgery, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. The endometrial repair period is about half a year, so you need to pay special attention to prevent getting pregnant again.

After reading this article, I believe you have an understanding of why you have bulging belly on both sides after an abortion. Here, the editor recommends that you do not go for an abortion easily. If you do not want a child in the near future, you should take contraceptive measures in normal times. After all, abortion is not only harmful to women's bodies, but also emotionally irresponsible.
