Back pain after abortion surgery

Many young girls often choose to have an abortion due to unexpected pregnancy due to ignorance, but abortion is very harmful to the female body. Not to mention the possible gynecological diseases that may be left behind, the maintenance after the operation and minor sequelae are all troublesome issues. The most common symptoms after an abortion are low back pain and qi and blood deficiency, both of which are caused by blood stasis remaining in the body during the abortion process and require long-term maintenance.

What to do if you have back pain after abortion

1. Maintenance issues after painless abortion surgery

After a painless abortion, the body is weak. If you do not pay attention to diet, rest and keeping warm, it may leave some hidden dangers to the body, such as qi and blood deficiency, muscle strain, and invasion of wind and cold, all of which may directly or indirectly cause low back pain.

2. It is a legacy issue in painless abortion surgery

It may be because during the painless abortion process, some blood clots flowed into the woman's pelvic cavity and blocked the pelvic cavity. It is also possible that the doctor caused the woman's uterus to shift during the curettage and pressed on the nerves in the waist. Another possibility is that the operation is not disinfected strictly, and bacteria invade during the operation and cause infection, which requires consideration of problems such as gynecological inflammation.

3. Incomplete abortion: Abortion surgery sometimes fails. Incomplete abortion means that the villi and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely removed during the operation.

4. After the operation, the uterus will undergo paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryo and 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.

Precautions for abortion

1. Pay attention to genital hygiene, such as washing the vulva every day, but be careful not to let dirty water flow into the vagina.

2. During the rest period, you should do some appropriate activities to facilitate the discharge of blood accumulated in the uterus. Do not stay in bed all day.

3. Pay attention to nutritional balance and ensure the intake of protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc., and eat more vegetables and fruits. However, you should be careful to eat less raw, cold and hard food to avoid irritating the intestines and causing indigestion. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some soups and medicated foods according to your preferences.

4. Take some antibiotics and drugs that promote uterine contraction, such as motherwort, prescribed by the doctor on time.

5. Pay attention to the supplement of nutrients, eat more protein-rich foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. These can effectively help supplement vitamins, enhance the body's resistance, and help damaged organs recover as soon as possible.

6. Ensure the cleanliness of the vulva, clean it every day, and change sanitary napkins frequently. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month after surgery and do not take a bath until the damaged organs recover to avoid infection.

7. Ensure adequate rest time, at least 2 weeks. You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the operation. During this period, do not perform heavy physical labor too early and avoid contact with cold water. If the back pain lasts for a long time and is severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
