Why do I feel a dull pain in my lower abdomen on the third day after medical abortion?

Dull pain in the lower abdomen refers to dull pain in the lower abdomen. Dull pain in the lower abdomen on the third day after medical abortion may be caused by uterine contraction, residual uterine cavity, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, endometritis, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate improvement or treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Uterine contraction: Medical abortion usually involves taking medication to promote uterine contraction and expel the gestational sac. Uterine contraction may cause dull pain in the lower abdomen, which is usually normal and does not require treatment.

2. Residual matter in the uterine cavity: If the medical abortion is not complete and residual matter remains in the uterine cavity, the residual matter will stimulate the uterus, causing uterine spasm and contraction, which may cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. It is necessary to go to the hospital for curettage and treatment.

3. Pelvic inflammatory disease: If personal hygiene is not maintained after medical abortion, pathogens may invade and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, resulting in pelvic congestion and edema. Lower abdominal pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, etc. may occur. You can use clindamycin hydrochloride capsules, cefadroxil capsules, roxithromycin capsules and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's instructions, which can play an anti-inflammatory role.

4. Cervicitis: Medical abortion may cause damage to cervical cells, making them vulnerable to invasion by pathogens, leading to cervicitis, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. You can cooperate with the doctor to use doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, ofloxacin tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets and other drugs for treatment, which can eliminate inflammation.

5. Endometritis: If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene after abortion and develop endometritis, you may experience lower abdominal pain, fever, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, etc. You can use clarithromycin capsules, metronidazole tablets, clindamycin hydrochloride capsules and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's instructions, which can have an anti-inflammatory effect.

It may also be due to uterine fibroids and other reasons. You should take contraceptive measures, such as wearing condoms or placing intrauterine contraceptive rings, to reduce the chance of accidental pregnancy.
