What Causes Pain During Urination After A Medical Abortion?

Posted on Wed, 21 Jan 2015

Question: I had an early medical abortion on Monday and today I am having excruciating pain when passing water. Have had stomach cramps up until now related to the passing of the pregnancy but this pain is different. It is very sharp. Is this serious? If so how serious?
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Get ultrasound scan done

Detailed Answer:
Hi

If you have not done ultrasound scan before taking abortion pills, it is better to get ultrasound scan done to check location of pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancy.

You need antibiotics to prevent infection after abortion
