Why do I feel backache after curettage?

Artificial abortion is a remedial measure after an unexpected pregnancy, and curettage is a common method of abortion. In fact, one or two abortions will not cause very serious harm to the body, but sometimes it may also bring some adverse symptoms. So why does the lower back hurt after curettage?

Incomplete abortion

Incomplete abortion means that the chorionic and decidual tissue in the uterine cavity cannot be completely removed during surgery. After the operation, the uterus undergoes paroxysmal contractions in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. At this time, the patient has paroxysmal abdominal pain, which is unbearable during the attack. There is also increased vaginal bleeding, which is bright red in color and contains large blood clots. The abdominal pain is relieved after the blood clots are expelled.

Treatment: Therefore, women need to go to the hospital for a re-examination in the second week after the curettage to confirm that the curettage is clean and there is no residual tissue in the uterine cavity.

Fatigue

This is caused by women being too tired or not getting enough rest after medical abortion and uterine cleaning. For example, many women nowadays are working women, and they will go back to work one or two days after medical abortion and uterine cleaning. In fact, this is due to lack of rest, and women's bodies cannot recover.

Treatment: Ensure adequate rest time, at least 2 weeks. You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the operation. During this period, do not perform heavy physical labor too early and avoid contact with cold water. If the back pain lasts for a long time and is severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Catch a cold

Sometimes it is because women catch a cold after medical abortion and uterine cleaning. Therefore, women must keep their abdomen warm after medical abortion and uterine cleaning to avoid lower back pain.

Treatment: Pay attention to nutritional balance and ensure the intake of protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc., and eat more vegetables and fruits. However, you should be careful to eat less raw, cold and hard food to avoid irritating the intestines and causing indigestion. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some soups and medicated foods according to your preferences.
