How long will the pain last after taking Miso?

Today's society is very open, and many people have premarital sex, which is also a normal phenomenon. But some people do not pay attention to protecting themselves and are prone to unexpected pregnancy. To solve the problem of unwanted pregnancy, the other options are to abort the baby after giving birth, while some people choose medical abortion. Misoprodol is the most common drug for medical abortion, and it will cause abdominal pain after taking it. So, how long will the pain last after taking miso? Let’s take a look below.

Generally, abdominal pain will begin about 1 hour after taking miso orally, and vaginal bleeding will occur 6 to 8 hours later, but the reaction will vary depending on your physical condition.

Adverse Reactions

Gastrointestinal reactions are the most common adverse reactions of misoprostol and are dose-related. The main symptoms are loose stools or diarrhea, most of which do not affect treatment. Occasionally, the situation is more serious and lasts for a long time, and the drug needs to be discontinued. Other symptoms may include mild nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, indigestion, headache, dizziness, fatigue, etc. A very small number of women may experience rash, facial flushing, itchy palms, chills, transient fever, and even anaphylactic shock.

After medical abortion

(1) Hygiene and contraception after medical abortion should be taken more seriously.

(2) During medical abortion, retrograde infection is prone to occur due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, attention should be paid to local hygiene. Showers should be taken instead of baths in a tub to prevent sewage from entering the vagina and causing infection. No sexual intercourse for one month.

(3) Rest for 1 to 2 weeks after medical abortion and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within one month after an abortion to avoid reduced resistance and inducing other diseases.

(4) Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and foul-smelling leucorrhea, etc., you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
