Colic after taking the medicine for medical abortion

When a new life appears in a woman's body and both lovers are not ready to welcome the new life, many people will choose to have an abortion and abandon the fetus. Medical abortion and cesarean section are two types of abortion methods commonly performed in hospitals. No matter which method is used, it will cause great harm to the body of the pregnant woman. It is normal to experience cramping during medical abortion, but if the pain is unusually persistent, you should consider the possibility of infection.

Causes of abdominal pain during medical abortion: Medical abortion uses mifepristone to kill the embryo and misoprostol to promote strong contractions of the uterus to expel the embryonic tissue. Because the uterus contracts significantly and the pelvic cavity is congested, there will be abdominal pain similar to or more obvious than menstruation.

Symptoms of abdominal pain during medical abortion: It can be paroxysmal or spasmodic, or it can be dull pain and distension in the lower abdomen similar to menstruation, and may be accompanied by soreness and distension in the waist.

Duration of abdominal pain during medical abortion: Abdominal pain may start half an hour after taking misoprostol, and usually lasts for two or three days, gradually subsiding and disappearing. There may also be uterine contractions causing pain after the pain is subsided. This is related to the residual tissue in the uterine cavity that has not been completely eliminated, cold, sexual excitement and stimulation, etc. However, there is generally little abdominal pain more than a week after medical abortion, and vaginal bleeding should generally stop within two weeks.

Abnormal abdominal pain: If you have a fever, severe pain in the lower abdomen, and foul-smelling discharge, consider infection, which may be caused by acute pelvic inflammatory disease. If abdominal pain and bleeding last for more than two weeks after medical abortion, or there is dull pain or paroxysmal cramping pain, it is likely caused by residual tissue or inflammation in the uterine cavity. If you have abnormal abdominal pain or bleeding for more than two weeks, you need to see a doctor for B-ultrasound, gynecological examination, blood routine examination, etc. to clarify the specific situation and deal with it.

Precautions after medical abortion: Generally, you need to rest for at least one week, exercise within your ability, take oral anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection and motherwort powder to promote uterine contraction for 5-7 days, keep warm, eat mainly warm and nourishing food, pay attention to local cleanliness and ventilation to prevent infection, and prohibit sexual intercourse for 1 month.

1. Precautions after medical abortion

1. After the tissue is discharged, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest.

2. Get adequate rest within 2 weeks after miscarriage, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum. Avoid bathing and sexual intercourse when vaginal bleeding has not stopped.

4. In the first 2 to 3 days after abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual amount. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy or persistent, seek medical attention promptly.

5. Patients with no tissue discharge should be observed for 2 weeks after taking the medicine, and attention should be paid to whether there is any tissue discharge during defecation and urination. Weekly urine pregnancy tests.

6. Ovulation may resume soon after miscarriage, so contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid pregnancy again.

2. Causes and treatment of bleeding after medical abortion

Bleeding after medical abortion usually lasts 1-3 weeks. The general symptoms are: bleeding less and less every day; if bleeding decreases and then increases, or does not decrease at all, or gradually increases, it is abnormal. Common causes are as follows:

1. Incomplete abortion: The main cause of bleeding after medical abortion, which can generally be determined through gynecological examination and B-ultrasound

2. Infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound determines that there is no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from abortion is a good culture medium for bacteria. If the condition is serious, there will be tenderness in the uterus during gynecological examination, and there will be fever, etc.

3. Poor blood coagulation function: Some people are prone to bruises or bulges after slight contact or clamping. This may be because the person's blood coagulation function is not very good. During medical abortion or surgical abortion, there may be heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding.

Treatment: Because there are many reasons, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination before making a judgment
