Someone asked us: 

After my abortion i have bèen having servere abdomen pains which comes and go and what best solution could i get to help

It’s common for cramping to happen for a few days after you have an abortion. It’s normal for your cramping to be accompanied by bleeding. You can use pads, tampons, or a menstrual cup for any bleeding —  whatever’s the most comfortable for you. 

To relieve your cramps, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin). You can also put a heating pad or hot water bottle on your belly or have someone rub your back. However, talk to your nurse or doctor if your cramps don’t get better after a few days or you’re experiencing abdominal pains for more than a few days.
