“After terminating a pregnancy, are these symptoms normal?”
After terminating a pregnancy, some symptoms may occur, some of which are normal, but some may require caution. Let’s see what they are.
Symptoms that can occur normally (no need to worry)
– Vaginal bleeding – Similar to menstruation, there may be small clots and it gradually decreases within 1-2 weeks
– Lower abdominal pain – Caused by uterine contractions, the pain is often similar to menstrual cramps and will gradually improve
– Fatigue, drowsiness – The body is adjusting after hormonal changes
– Mood swings – You may feel sad, anxious, or emotionally unstable, which is normal and will improve over time
Self-care tips:
- Get enough rest
- Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious food
- If you experience pain, you can use pain relief medication as recommended by a doctor
Symptoms to watch out for (should consult a doctor)
– Excessive bleeding – If you need to change a large sanitary pad every 30 minutes for more than 2 hours
– Severe abdominal pain that does not subside – May be a sign of complications such as infection or incomplete abortion
– High fever, chills – May indicate a uterine infection, should see a doctor immediately
– Abnormal foul-smelling discharge – May be a sign of internal infection
– Persistent pregnancy-like symptoms – Such as breast tenderness, nausea, after 2 weeks, should check to be sure
In summary:
