How long does the back pain last after abortion?

How long is it normal to feel back pain after a medical abortion? Medical abortion is a method of forced termination of pregnancy. Therefore, although medical abortion is relatively safe, convenient and quick, it will also cause some discomfort. For patients who need medical abortion, they should understand the possible symptoms and manifestations of medical abortion, and make a judgment based on their own symptoms. If an unexpected situation occurs, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

After taking the abortion drug, it is normal to have symptoms such as abdominal pain, back pain and bleeding. Generally speaking, within six hours after taking the third dose of the drug, patients will produce a series of reactions. Since the uterus is expelled when it contracts, the patient will feel bloated and painful in the lower abdomen, and while bleeding, there will also be symptoms of back pain. However, with the discharge of blood in the uterine cavity and the discharge of the fetal sac, the patient's back pain symptoms will gradually ease. Generally speaking, the back pain symptoms will last for about one to two days.

If medical abortion has been completed but low back pain still occurs frequently, the patient needs to undergo a gynecological examination as soon as possible to clarify the condition of the uterine cavity. If incomplete medical abortion or intrauterine infection occurs, intervention and treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. Patients with incomplete medical abortion need to undergo curettage and curettage immediately to ensure that there are no remnants of test tube embryo tissue in the uterine cavity. If it is intrauterine infection, antibiotics should be used to prevent further adverse effects. Therefore, patients who continue to have low back pain after abortion must pay attention and see a doctor as soon as possible.

In short, the symptom of back pain after medical abortion is a relatively normal condition. After the fetal sac is expelled, the symptom of back pain will be alleviated to a certain extent. If the patient continues to have back pain, it may be incomplete medical abortion or intrauterine infection, which needs to be treated promptly. Patients who want to undergo medical abortion should also understand the symptoms of medical abortion in advance so that they can make an accurate judgment in time.
