What causes lower abdominal pain after IUI?
Patient: LMP - 6/feb/2014IUI done on 24/Feb/2014.Severe pain in lower abdomen for the next 2 days. day by day it decreased. Doctor gave us Miprogen 400(Vagina) to use daily. 4Mar/2014 - discreet pain in lower abdomen again. Is it pain of pregnancy? Nipples are paining for the past 4 days.When can i check for pregnancy? Doctor: For IUI or intrauterine insemination, after speculum examination, a probe needs to be inserted through the cervical canal into the uterus and the processed seminal fluid is injected. During the speculum examination, it is natural for the muscles of the area to get strained and hence localised muscle spasm is a possible cause of the pain that you are talking about.Another probability is that the ovarian hyperstimulation that is required for such a procedure might be a possible cause of such a pain. It might also be related to the nipple soreness.In either case, the pain should gradually subside.It is recommended to wait at least 14 days before taking a pregnancy test after IUI.
