Post-Abortion Pain & Pressure: What's Normal & When to Worry
QuestionHi, I had an abortion two days ago under general aneasthic, I also had the copper coil inserted at the same time. Since the procedure I have had low abdominal pain but not like period pain more a stabbing pain all over one area, also I have a pressure pushing into my rectum, I'm not constipated as have been a few times but it feels as if I need to go constantly and really painful. Feel slightly dizzy as well and no energy at all, constantly tired. Please help I dont know if this is normal and will pass or if there is a problem.
Thanks
AnswerHello, Victoria,
What concerns me is the possibility that the copper coil has perforated your uterus. You could be bleeding internally. This is a dangerous situation. You need medical help immediately! Don't wait. I'm keeping this short. Please get to the doctor or hospital immediately, and then let me know how you do. I'll write more later.
