Is Abdominal Pain After Cervical Cancer Screening a Sign That Hospitalization Is Needed?

Generally, mild abdominal pain after cervical cancer screening that subsides quickly does not require hospitalization. However, if the abdominal pain is severe or accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as bleeding, hospitalization may be necessary. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If only mild abdominal distension occurs after the screening, lasts briefly, and is not accompanied by other discomforts such as bleeding or fever, it is usually a temporary reaction caused by the examination and will gradually subside with rest. In such cases, hospitalization is unnecessary.

If the abdominal pain is severe and continuously worsens after the screening, accompanied by heavy vaginal bleeding, fever, dizziness, or other symptoms, it may indicate injury or infection requiring further examination and treatment. In such cases, hospitalization may be necessary.

After cervical cancer screening, it is important to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and monitor abdominal pain and physical changes. If symptoms are abnormal or persist without relief, do not attempt self-diagnosis; promptly contact your doctor to clarify the situation and follow medical advice for appropriate management.
