Abdominal pain following an induced abortion is often due to uterine contractions and is generally considered a normal phenomenon. However, if the abdominal pain is severe, it may indicate retained products of conception within the uterine cavity; pelvic infection cannot be ruled out either. Prompt consultation with a gynecologist and transvaginal ultrasound examination are recommended to determine the underlying cause, followed by appropriate treatment.
