Abdominal pain after abortion

Abortion surgery is mainly performed on women who are pregnant for no more than three months, because after more than three months of pregnancy the fetus has gradually taken shape, and at this time an induced abortion is required. However, during the abortion process, women's bodies will suffer great damage. Therefore, after an abortion, women must pay attention to their physical recovery and physical problems. So is it normal to feel a dull pain in the lower abdomen after an abortion?

Causes of abdominal pain in women after abortion:

1. Intrauterine hemorrhage: It usually occurs within a few hours after surgery. The patient has unbearable abdominal pain, like a knife cutting, 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. At this time, immediate curettage is needed to clear the blood in the uterine cavity, and oxytocin and antibiotics should be given.

2. Incomplete abortion: Artificial abortion operations 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, 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, 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. Uterine perforation: This is a very serious complication that occurs during artificial abortion surgery. Most patients experience sudden and severe abdominal pain during perforation, 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. If combined with internal bleeding, it may cause peritoneal irritation signs: abdominal pain that refuses to be pressed, tenderness, and rebound pain exist at the same time.
