I have a stomachache five days after the abortion.

It is a normal physiological phenomenon to have abdominal pain five days after an abortion. It is mainly because the endometrium will fall off after the abortion and the vaginal secretions will increase, which naturally causes the symptoms of abdominal pain. For the symptoms of abdominal pain after abortion, we should pay attention to getting more rest, replenishing nutrients, and drinking more water, so that we can take good care of ourselves after abortion and avoid uterine infection.

What to do if you have stomach pain after abortion

1. After the abortion, you should rest seriously and give your body enough rest time. The most important thing is to temporarily put down the work and burdens at hand, restore your strength and let your body recover.

2. After the abortion, it is best to lie down and rest at home for a week. If you have the energy, get out of bed and walk around. But don't make any large movements and don't do any heavy work. This is the time to just be lazy and feel at ease.

3. Women who have had an abortion are often very weak, so they should remember to replenish their nutrition. For example, you should eat more foods containing nutrients such as protein and vitamins. On daily basis, you should eat some chicken, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.

4. In addition, water should be consumed in small amounts and multiple times, because weak women are prone to sweating, and sweat will take away some water. In order to allow the body to have enough water to circulate, women who have undergone abortion need to drink water in time.

Why does my stomach hurt after an abortion?

1. Improper postoperative care caused infection and eventually stomach pain. When performing an abortion, manual operation using instruments is often required. If the operator's procedures are incorrect or even hygiene is not maintained properly, infection may occur. Furthermore, some patients do not know how to take care of themselves after surgery and break some taboos that should be paid attention to after surgery, such as starting sex too early or going swimming. These behaviors will cause bacteria to invade the body. When the bacteria run rampant in the body, various inflammations will follow, eventually leading to stomach pain.

2. The abortion operation was not complete enough, that is, there were still remnants that were not removed from the uterus, causing damage to the uterus. Abortion surgery is performed manually. During the operation, if the operator is not focused or the technique is not skilled enough, embryonic tissue may remain in the uterus. These tissues remain inside the uterus, which is like having more toxins for the uterus. In order to expel things that do not belong inside the uterus, the uterus can only contract in waves. As a result, women are prone to stomach pain.
