Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,

Thanks for the query.

I have read your question & understood your concern. Post abortion pain can be due to multiple causes. I will have to think of the probable cause & advice you accordingly. Please let me know few more things about your trouble-
-Is the pain persistent till now? Or it has started recently?
- Do you have accompanied fever or vaginal discharge?
- Has the bleeding stopped? If not are there clots in bleeding?
- Do you have problem with urine or digestion (motion)?

Till then,
- take rest,
-don't massage or foment the painful area.
-have light, nutritive diet,
-A pain killer pill that suits you. It will relieve you for time being...

Awaiting your reply...
