Dull pain in right abdomen after abortion

Most women who become pregnant without any preparation will choose to have an abortion. Although this operation is a relatively mature technology nowadays, some women say that they feel a dull pain in the right abdomen after an abortion. Is this normal? This situation is mostly normal, but if the pain lasts for a long time, you should consider whether the abortion was not complete, or whether there was an infection after the operation, etc. It will be even more troublesome if uterine perforation occurs during the abortion.

1. Incomplete abortion: Nowadays, many hospitals are very careless when performing abortions, so the risk of operation failure is particularly high. A failed operation will cause incomplete miscarriage, which will cause residues to remain inside the uterus and cannot be discharged better. In this case, paroxysmal uterine contractions are likely to occur, causing abdominal pain symptoms. The pain may be unbearable at the beginning, but the symptoms may slowly disappear afterwards.

2. Postoperative infection: The chance of infection after surgery is particularly high. Some people do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, or do not follow the doctor's arrangements after surgery, and often have sex with their sexual partners, which will cause the uterus to become infected. Of course, it may also be caused by improper surgical operation. If the scalpel selected is not thoroughly sterilized, it can easily cause uterine and vaginal infections.

3. Uterine perforation: Many women may experience symptoms of uterine perforation after surgery, so women should be more alert to abdominal pain after surgery. If they find abdominal pain, they should seek medical attention in time, so that they can check whether the uterus has perforation or infection symptoms. You can also observe the symptoms yourself at ordinary times. You can press your abdomen. If there is tenderness or rebound pain in the abdomen, you should consider whether it is caused by perforation.

These are the reasons why you often experience pain in the right lower abdomen after an abortion. In addition to these factors, there may also be gastrointestinal diseases. For example, appendicitis can cause pain in the right lower abdomen, and the abdominal pain caused by appendicitis will be painful when pressed, so you need to check your stomach and intestines. After an abortion, you must have a physical examination and regular B-ultrasounds to know the specific situation of the uterus' recovery.
