DEAR CORTZ.LALALA,
HI I AM DR.KAVITHA.NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE SUCH PAINS 5 DAYS AFTER AN ABORTION.YOU HAVE NOT SPECIFIED IF ABORTION HAPPENED BY ITSELF AT HOME OR IF YOU GOT IT DONE IN A HOSPITAL.IF IT WAS SPONTANEOUS AND YOU HAVE NOT VISITED A DOCTOR AFTER YOUR ABORTION AND THESE PAINS ARE PERSISITING THEN I ADVICE YOU TO GET AN ULTRASOUND DONE TO LOOK FOR RETAINED PRODUCTS (.MEANING SOMETHING LEFT BEHIND).BECAUSE THIS IS A REASON FOR BLEEDING AND PAIN AFTER AN ABORTION.
PAIN IN THE KIDNEYS ARE VERY UNLIKELY AFTER AN ABORTION BUT AN ULTRASOUND WILL EXCLUDE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS TO KIDNEYS AS WELL.
SEVERE SPASMODIC PAIN CAN MAKE YOU DIZZY AND WEAK AND THAT COULD BE THE REASON WHY YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP STANDING.YOU MAY ALSO HAVE BECOME ANAEMIC AFTER LOSING SO MUCH BLOOD.
SO PLEASE VISIT YOUR NEAREST GYNAECOLOGIST AND GET YOURSELF EXAMINED BEFORE YOU GET TOO SICK.PRAYING FOR YOU....BYE
