Abortion surgery can cause significant harm to women's bodies. If hygiene is not taken care of after the surgery, it is easy to develop infections. It is normal to experience abdominal pain for a few days after an abortion, but if the pain lasts for a long time and is intense, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in a timely manner. So, what's going on with stomach pain on the third day after an abortion?
About three days after painless abortion, there may be symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, which is caused by incomplete recovery of the body and is a normal phenomenon. If there is still bleeding or pain after 2 weeks, it may be caused by the following reasons. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in a timely manner:
1. Incomplete abortion: Artificial abortion surgery sometimes fails, and the uterus undergoes intermittent contractions after surgery in order to expel the remaining embryonic tissue from the uterus. At this time, the patient experiences intermittent abdominal pain, which is unbearable and accompanied by increased vaginal bleeding, a bright red color, and large blood clots.
2. Postoperative infection: Postoperative infection often occurs within two weeks after surgery, generally leading to acute pelvic inflammatory disease, severe abdominal pain, persistent, and may worsen intermittently, accompanied by fever and chills. The color of vaginal bleeding is bright red, with a fishy smell or yellow discharge.
3. Uterine perforation: Abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent, with a small amount of bleeding. If combined with internal bleeding, it can cause peritoneal irritation. The chance of uterine perforation is rare, and it is more likely to occur in women with excessive uterine tilt or cesarean section within one year of re pregnancy, or women who have undergone multiple frequent induced abortions.
