Abdominal pain 3 days after abortion

Abortion has a relatively large impact on women's bodies and can cause a series of adverse reactions, among which vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, etc. are the most common. Some people will experience lower abdominal pain 3 days after an abortion. This is a relatively normal reaction, but people need to pay special attention to it to prevent the development of a disease. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if you have lower abdominal pain 3 days after an abortion.

It is normal to bleed for 3-7 days after abortion. The amount of bleeding is less than the normal menstrual volume and generally does not exceed 10 days. The length of bleeding after abortion depends on how fast the ovarian corpus luteum withdraws. If abdominal pain persists, a gynecological color ultrasound is needed to observe the situation in the uterine cavity and rule out the possibility of intrauterine residues.

If you have fully understood the possible harm that abortion may cause to your body and future fertility, and still choose abortion to end this unwanted pregnancy, although the harm is inevitable, you can minimize the damage to your body through post-abortion care. Nursing can be strengthened mainly through the following aspects:

1. Do not get up immediately after the abortion. You should rest in bed in the hospital for 2 hours and observe the vaginal bleeding. If there is any abnormality, ask a doctor to check it in time.

2. After an artificial abortion, the body's resistance decreases, wounds are left on the endometrium, and vaginal secretions increase, making bacterial infection more likely to occur. Therefore, you must pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and shower and clean the vulva in time. Bathing in a tub is prohibited within half a month.

3. Pay attention to strengthening contraceptive measures. Under the guidance of a doctor, adopt appropriate contraceptive methods or sterilization measures to prevent another unexpected pregnancy. Frequent artificial abortions will increase the chance of developing gynecological diseases and may even lead to infertility, seriously endangering your health.

4. Rest for half a month as required after the operation. During the rest period, avoid heavy physical labor, do not squat to work, do not stay up late, do not cry, do not touch cold water, avoid gusts of wind, increase nutritional intake, eat more protein-rich and high-vitamin foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits to promote physical recovery.
