Pain In Lower Abdomen, Pelvic Area. Had Medical Abortion. Diagnosed With RPOC. What Is The Cause Of Pain?
Thank you for your query.
First of all consult a gynecologist and get a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound done.
You should confirm whether the uterine cavity is empty, or there is still evidence of some retained tissue inside.
Sometimes, inspite of normal periods, there could be minimal tissue inside, which is causing the pain.
Another reason could be pelvic inflammatory disease, which often occurs following an abortion, and because of stress or low immunity.
To diagnose this condition, you would need a pelvic XXXXXXX check up, and appropriate swabs or vaginal cultures, which would be done by your gynecologist.
Even a mild bowel infection can cause pain in the area described.
After an abortion , ideally you should not conceive for atleast 3 months.
You should take regular folic acid supplements pre conceptionally.
I would like to know the reason for the medical abortion.
If you went for medical abortion voluntarily ( no problems in the fetus ), then your chances of conceiving again are pretty good.
Only rarely does abortion lead to infection and tubal blockage and resultant infertility, this is indeed very rare.
Right now, please visit a gynecologist to rule out any pelvic infection, take appropriate treatment if diagnosed with one, avoid conception for 3 months atleast and if possible, do provide details of the abortion you had in January.
Take care, and feel free to ask further questions.
However will get them as soon as possible . Medical abortion was a voluntary decission but am now regretting it . I want to conceive soon . Sooner the better as i feel devastated .
Doctor said as i have had my period , it is unlikrly to have any tissue inside . The only worry is pain which is easing a bit now i guess ... Can drinking lots of water help flushing out any infections .
Having had a period, tissue inside is unlikely, but an infection could be there all the same.
Drinking lots of water would not flush out a pelvic infection, could help in lightening a Take care, and see a doctor as soon as you can.
Wait for atleast 3 months after the abortion to conceive.
Take regular folic acid supplements.
