Postpartum abdominal pain is likely caused by intrauterine inflammation or infection; therefore, maintaining proper hygiene and administering anti-inflammatory medications are essential. Alternatively, the pain may stem from postpartum lochia or uterine contractions, which typically subside gradually within two to three days. Consequently, women experiencing severe postpartum pain should seek medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital to rule out conditions such as uterine fibroids.
