What should I do if I have a little stomach pain three days after an abortion?

Abortion refers to an artificial abortion for women who do not want to have children. It is a surgery to suck out the gestational sac from the uterine cavity. It is the most common method to terminate early pregnancy. Generally speaking, if there is slight stomach pain after an artificial abortion, it is a normal phenomenon caused by uterine contraction in the body. Some women will not feel stomach pain about four or five hours after the abortion, and some women will have slight abdominal pain three days after the abortion. Generally, the abdominal pain will disappear within a week after the abortion.

1. Uterine contraction pain

Normally, women may experience mild lower abdominal pain after abortion, which is caused by uterine contraction. If the patient's pain symptoms are relieved within a week, it may be a normal physiological phenomenon caused by the abortion operation. It is recommended to pay attention to rest after the abortion operation, ensure adequate sleep; supplement protein nutrition; do not have sexual intercourse, pay attention to hygiene, and avoid infection.

2. Pain caused by wound infection

After an abortion, accidental infection of the wound can cause inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammation, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, low-grade fever, chills, and even lower abdominal pain. If the above situation occurs, go to the hospital for a check-up, do a gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, understand whether the uterus has pelvic effusion, and do a blood test to understand whether there is infection. If it is caused by infection, antibiotic treatment is required. If there is excessive bleeding, prolonged bleeding, or persistent abdominal pain, intrauterine residues and incomplete uterine involution should be considered, and active treatment should be given.
