She said she has pains in her right ovary like a bowel movement and hurts really bad when she poops. I don t think it s severe pain but it s painful , what is considered severe pain ?

Hi,

Pain and cramps can happen after taking abortion pills.

You can take analgesics like Mefenamic Acid for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated, you have to take an ultrasound scan to rule out any retained tissues after abortion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
