Had Surgical Abortion-gestation. Feeling Cramps And Back Pain. Taking Antibiotics. What To Do?
Hello. I had a surgical abortion-gestation was 12 weeks, two days ago 5/4. I felt very little pain the day after the procedure yet today, I feel cramping and back pain . My bleeding is very minimal and I am taking antibiotics ( Doxycycline ) as prescribed. I was just concerned that it may be unusual to begin having pain two days later? Thank you in advance for a response.
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pains in the lower abdomen you are having are the after pains- the uterine cramps that are normally seen after the baby is expelled. These are often severe and need anti spasmodic medicines and muscle relaxants for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
