I have a stomachache after having an abortion. Why?

Nowadays, when sex is open, it is very easy to get pregnant unexpectedly if you do not take proper contraceptive measures. Having a baby without the necessary fertility conditions is irresponsible, and abortion is a helpless act. I don’t know how many women have faced this dilemma in real life. So what is the reason for stomach pain just after an abortion? Let us take a brief look at it below.

I have a stomachache after having an abortion. What is going on?

After a normal abortion, there are several factors that cause abdominal pain the next day. One is the pain caused by uterine contraction. 2. Pain caused by infection. If the body temperature is normal and the condition is not very serious, you can observe it temporarily and take oral anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs at the same time. In addition, eat more red dates and longans to help repair the uterus, and pay attention to gynecological hygiene. If your body temperature rises and your abdominal pain worsens and you feel a heaviness and distension in your anus, please go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for an ultrasound examination to determine the cause of the pain and provide treatment. Do not have sex for two weeks.

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. After an abortion, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days. You can then get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend active. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after abortion. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after an abortion. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse. The cervix has not closed after abortion, and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
