Is it normal to have stomach pain after abortion?

Nowadays, sexual concepts between men and women are becoming more and more open. Many men and women have sex before getting married. They do not take proper contraceptive measures during sex. If they accidentally get pregnant, most women will choose abortion. Women should also pay attention to their body's recovery after an abortion, because abortion can cause great damage to women's qi and blood. Failure to pay attention to physical recovery can also lead to corresponding gynecological diseases. Is it normal to have abdominal pain after an abortion?

After a woman has an abortion, her body needs a period of recovery, and it takes even longer for women who have undergone surgical abortion. During this period, some women will experience abdominal pain, which is actually a normal body reaction. Generally speaking, this pain is mild and most women can tolerate it. For normal women, the pain will disappear within three days, while for women with more severe trauma, the pain will not exceed a week.

If a woman still has abdominal pain for more than a week, it needs to be taken seriously, because it means that there is a problem with the woman's body who has had a miscarriage, which usually includes three situations.

1. Incomplete abortion. Although abortion technology is mature, failures still occur. In this case, the uterus in the body will continue to contract in order to expel the remaining embryo, causing abdominal pain in women who have miscarriage. Usually, this pain is quite intense and unbearable for ordinary women, and is accompanied by the discharge of a large amount of bright red blood clots.

2. There is blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. This situation often occurs on the day after abortion. The patient will experience severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. During a gynecological examination, it may be found that the woman's uterus is obviously tender and the size of the uterus is larger than normal.

3. Uterine perforation. This situation is a complication after abortion and the condition is quite serious. When perforation occurs, patients often experience sudden severe abdominal pain. At the same time, the patient may also experience vaginal bleeding.

From the above situations, we can see that it is normal for women to experience short-term mild pain after an abortion. If a woman has pain for more than three days, the pain is severe and accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, it means that the abdominal pain is not normal and she needs to see a doctor to determine the actual condition of the body.
