Why do I feel pain in my lower abdomen on the fifth day after miscarriage?

Miscarriage refers to a situation in which the fetus in the pregnant woman's womb dies due to voluntary or accidental reasons. Of course, whether it is voluntary or accidental, it will make the pregnant woman very uncomfortable mentally and physically. It is quite common to experience lower abdominal pain on the fifth day after miscarriage. In this case, you should actively understand the cause and then take measures to treat it to prevent more serious situations. So let me explain what is going on.

Artificial abortion surgery may cause mild lower abdominal pain, which will disappear later or may occasionally occur, but sometimes paroxysmal abdominal pain and lower abdominal pain may also occur. It usually does not exceed four to five days. If the abdominal pain is severe and lasts for a long time, it may be incomplete miscarriage or blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. Postoperative infection, etc. Suggestions: It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up in time to avoid causing other diseases

Post-abortion care:

1. Keep the breast meridians unobstructed after abortion

During miscarriage, the newly developed mammary glands stop growing, the alveoli become smaller and even disappear, and the mammary glands recover. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, so it is easy to induce lobular hyperplasia of the breast. Causes breast lumps and breast pain. If the meridians are blocked, there will be pain. If you dredge the meridians as soon as possible, the suddenly stagnant Qi and blood will start flowing. You can avoid breast lumps and breast pain caused by improper confinement.

2. Careful care of the uterus after miscarriage

During medical abortion, the mother's cervix and endometrium are inevitably damaged, and the wounds to the cervix cause the uterus's own resistance to decrease. The cervix itself is a susceptible site for HPV infection, and modern science has confirmed that HPV infection is directly related to cervical cancer.

During the confinement period, the uterus must be fully protected, including increasing the resistance of the uterus, promoting rapid repair of the uterus, and completely expelling blood stasis.

3. Pay more attention to rest and diet after medical abortion

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the care required for a miscarriage is ten times that of a normal birth, which means that abortion or miscarriage suddenly terminates the normal physiological process of the human body, which causes greater harm than a normal delivery, so you must pay attention to recuperation. Although it doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed for 10 months, you should at least stay in bed for half a month after a miscarriage.

Try to eat well, sleep well, pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhance the body's resistance to disease, and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After 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. You should take dietary supplements immediately; do not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. If conditions permit, you can refer to the normal postpartum diet. In addition, you should follow the taboos after childbirth in your daily life, do not take a bath, do not drink cold drinks, keep warm clothes, and avoid catching a cold.

It is not advisable to get angry or tired. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion. Do not engage in heavy physical labor, move things, lift heavy objects, and avoid strenuous exercise within half a month after the abortion. Do not end the rest period early. It is best for mothers who have had a natural or artificial abortion to rest and recuperate for about 21 to 30 days. Ensure physical recovery. Of course, there is no need to stay in bed all day, as this is not conducive to the discharge of lochia.
