Is Pain In The Lower Abdomen Postpartum A Cause For Concern?

My daughter is five days postpartum. Today she is experiencing pain in her lower left abdomen she describes as debilitating. She is anemic, had a vaginal birth, this is her 4th child. Ibuprofen has helped some with the pain. Should she go to the ER?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The pain in lower abdomen post partum is completely normal.

I suggest to continue using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms.

I also suggest rest.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
