Why do I have stomach pain a few days after a miscarriage?

Key reminder: Painless abortion is the most common artificial abortion. Women will experience lower abdominal pain and a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the day of the operation. If abdominal pain occurs on the fourth day after the abortion, you should be alert as there may be incomplete abortion, postoperative infection, or uterine perforation. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital outpatient department for examination.

In real life, many women have unexpected pregnancies and choose painless abortion to terminate the pregnancy. Painless abortion is performed under full anesthesia, and there is no pain during the operation. Once the anesthesia period has passed, you may experience mild discomfort, pain in your lower abdomen, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding on the same day. Patients should take good care of themselves after surgery to prevent complications. I have stomach pain on the fourth day after abortion. What is the reason?

Generally speaking, there will be mild lower abdominal pain on the day of abortion. When the abdominal pain subsides, a very small number of patients will have dull pain in the lower abdomen, which usually lasts for two or three days. If the patient still has abdominal pain on the fourth day after the abortion, it should be taken seriously. The following three situations may occur.

First, incomplete abortion. If patients choose medical abortion, some abortions may fail and the abdomen may continue to hurt.

Second, infection after surgery. Postoperative infection is one of the possible complications of abortion. If the surgical procedure is not standardized, this situation can easily occur.

Third, uterine perforation. Uterine perforation is a serious complication of abortion and can be life-threatening if not treated correctly.

After all, abortion is a minimally invasive surgery. You should pay attention to rest after the operation, avoid excessive exercise and heavy physical work, and avoid sitting or standing for a long time to avoid pelvic bleeding. Patients undergoing this type of surgery should wash their vulva with warm water every day to keep it clean, and change their underwear and sanitary napkins frequently to avoid bacterial infection. During this period, pay attention to bleeding. If bleeding is excessive, go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying the best treatment opportunity. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion, and good contraceptive methods should be used to avoid pregnancy again.

The above is a detailed introduction to abdominal pain on the fourth day after an abortion. The patient's pain is severe and requires examination. Women who have undergone surgery are relatively weak, and during this period they can eat more foods such as chicken and dairy products. Also pay attention to regular check-ups at the hospital. If there are no problems, you can resume your sexual life. Finally, patients are reminded that frequent abortions are harmful to their health and may also cause gynecological diseases.
