Abdominal pain after abortion:

1. Incomplete abortion: Incomplete abortion refers to the failure to completely remove the villi and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity 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, 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 repeatedly. When an incomplete miscarriage occurs, uterine curettage must be performed in a timely manner to scrape out the residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, and the abdominal pain will disappear naturally. Strengthen anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery to prevent infection.

2. Uterine perforation: When the uterus is perforated, the patient often experiences sudden severe abdominal pain, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent, with a small amount of vaginal bleeding or internal bleeding. Uterine perforation is likely to occur in: women whose uterus is excessively tilted or who become pregnant again within one year of a caesarean section, women who have undergone multiple abortions, or due to improper operation by the surgeon. Therefore, it is very important to choose a good abortion physician.

3. Postoperative infection: Postoperative infection is one of the most common complications of abortion. Postoperative infection often occurs within two weeks after surgery. It may be caused directly by the operation during surgery or by the patient's lack of attention to hygiene after surgery. For example: having sexual intercourse, taking a bath, swimming, etc. within one month after an abortion. It usually leads to acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the symptoms of which include severe abdominal pain that is persistent and may worsen in paroxysmal forms, accompanied by fever, chills, vaginal bleeding that is bright red, has a fishy odor, or is mixed with yellow discharge. If chronic pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, there will be dull abdominal pain, a small amount of vaginal bleeding, an odor, and yellow discharge. If a postoperative infection occurs, whether it is acute or chronic, timely treatment must be given to ensure that the treatment is thorough to avoid delaying the condition.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of why abdominal pain occurs after abortion. When this happens, women should not delay treatment, and when the problem becomes serious, they should be hospitalized for observation.
