Abdominal pain on the fourth day after abortion

It is normal to experience some mild or severe discomfort in the body after an abortion.

In this case, a curettage should be performed immediately to scrape out the remaining embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity. This will relieve the abdominal pain. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening anti-infection treatment after the operation to prevent infection.

(2) Postoperative infection: This is one of the more common complications after abortion. Postoperative infection can be caused directly by the surgical operation or by not paying attention to medical care after the operation. For example, having sex or swimming too early can cause infection. When infected with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, severe abdominal pain may occur, so you should pay attention to seek medical treatment in time.

(3) Uterine perforation: This is a more serious complication of abortion. Severe abdominal pain may occur at the time of rupture, and a small number of women do not feel obvious pain. Of course, the incidence of uterine perforation is generally low, and it mostly occurs in women who have excessively tilted uterus or who have become pregnant again within one year after cesarean section, or who have undergone frequent abortions.

(4) Intrauterine hemorrhage: This condition can also cause unbearable abdominal pain, but it usually occurs within a few hours after surgery. In fact, the number of such conditions is very small. It is mainly common in women whose uterus is too tilted or whose cervix is ​​too tight.

There are many reasons for abdominal cramps after abortion. The above are the possible reasons. This situation is very harmful to your health. Therefore, if you have abdominal pain on the fourth day after the operation, it may be due to surgical failure or some postoperative complications. Therefore, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time so that you can deal with it properly and avoid causing greater harm to your health.
