Post-abortion abdominal and lower back pain can have multiple causes. These may include uterine contractions, retained intrauterine tissue, pelvic venous congestion, infection, uterine perforation, or other underlying conditions—diagnosis requires evaluation of the specific clinical context. If abdominal or lower back pain is severe, persists without improvement, and is accompanied by additional symptoms, prompt medical re-evaluation at a hospital is essential, along with adherence to appropriate treatment as directed by a physician.
