What Causes Bloated Feeling After An Abortion?

Hi doctor, I was 8 weeks pregnant and I had an abortion a few days ago. I gained a few pounds from being pregnant and my stomach is noticeably softer. I was wondering if I would naturally lose the few pounds I gained or if I would have to really work for it. I've been eating healthier these past few days and it seems as if I'm more bloated than when I was pregnant. How is that?

welcome to Health care magic.

1.You will loose your extra weight on its own, you don't have to worry about it, no need to have extra stress on it.
2.The bloating feeling after an abortion can be generalised symptom, but also seen in case of incomplete abortion, or failed abortion - in this case you need to get a check ultrasound pelvis done to confirm the abortion and rule out RPOC - retained products of conception.
3.Suggest to have safe and protected intercourse to avoid these confusions, abortions - as it does affect your reproductive health in future. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
