Will my stomach still hurt after I have a medical abortion and expel the gestational sac?

In the early stages of pregnancy, if the test tube embryo stops growing due to poor quality, or if the mother cannot get pregnant again, the gestational sac will generally be expelled through medical abortion. This expulsion process requires uterine contractions, so there will be abdominal pain. So, will the abdomen continue to hurt after the gestational sac is expelled, and how long will the pain last before it is considered normal? Let's briefly introduce it below.

Medical abortion is usually performed within seven weeks of pregnancy, because the test tube embryo is still small at this time. If the pregnancy week is too large, medical abortion cannot completely eliminate the problem, and the pregnancy can only be terminated through painless abortion surgery. First, you need to insert a suppository into the vagina to make the gestational sac and uterus separate, and then take a drug that stimulates uterine contraction to make the gestational sac tissue expel. During this process, abdominal pain will occur, which is the pain of uterine contraction, intermittent, and it is normal.

The pain will ease slightly after the fetal sac is expelled, but it will continue for a few days because the uterus has begun to expand after pregnancy. Although it is not obvious from the surface, it takes a few days for the uterus to return to its original size. Therefore, within three to five days of medical abortion, there will be some pain in the abdomen due to uterine contractions. The pain will gradually ease and is within the tolerable range. If the pain is more severe, in other words, if it lasts for more than a week, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if there is any residual tissue that has not been cleaned up, or if there is hematochezia.

Therefore, after the gestational sac is expelled, abdominal pain will continue for three to five days. This means that the uterus has been repaired and it is the pain of uterine contraction. If the pain is not very obvious and the time is not very long, it is normal. You can take some Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to promote the rapid discharge of residual tissue. However, if the pain is stronger or lasts for a long time, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.
