Miscarriage can cause physical symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain, and bleeding, which should subside within two to four weeks. Misoprostol can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, and pain relief may be administered. Bleeding and spotting are normal but heavy bleeding should be checked by a doctor. Post-abortion trauma is not scientifically proven. Contraceptives can be used to prevent future pregnancy.
Some miscarriage hangovers are very common, while others are a little rarer and more severe. After any miscarriage you can expect nausea, stomach pain and cramping, and some light bleeding. These physical effects should subside and then completely disappear two to four weeks after the procedure. If they persist longer than expected, it is strongly recommended that you consult a doctor to evaluate the situation. More serious effects of abortion occur in less than 100% of first trimester abortions and approximately 100% of full-term abortions.
A drug called misoprostol is often used for both drug-induced abortion and for dilating the cervix of women requiring surgical abortion. Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are common side effects of misoprostol. Some other drugs used for these purposes have the same or similar effects. Usually, these problems subside within a few hours of the procedure.
Experiencing abdominal pain after a miscarriage is normal and rarely cause for concern. Some researchers have observed a link between severe pain and length of pregnancy, so abortions performed early in pregnancy may be less painful. Often, a health professional will administer a pain reliever before the aborted patient goes home. Doctors typically ask their patients to call the office if the pain continues after two weeks or gets worse.
Bleeding and spotting are expected after the effects of the abortion but may be the most alarming to an aborted patient. It is not unusual to bleed lightly from one day to two months after the miscarriage. The extent of the blood loss should still be trivial and comparable to a menstrual period and not compromise the woman’s health. If there is heavy bleeding or enough to adversely affect the patient, a doctor should be consulted to make sure everything is going as planned.
After a successful and uncomplicated abortion, the patient’s menstrual period returns approximately four to six weeks later. It is possible for a woman to miscarry and become pregnant within a month, even if her period has not returned. Contraceptive methods, such as contraceptives and condoms, can be used to prevent future pregnancy and are sometimes provided free of charge at various clinics.
Post-abortion trauma, also known as post-abortion syndrome, refers to long-term depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses that a woman might experience as a result of having an abortion. This disease is not scientifically proven and many studies have disproved its existence or remained inconclusive. Some women experience negative emotions after the effects of the abortion, but it’s not guaranteed that all or most will.
