Question
Hi there,

I had an abortion 2 weeks ago. but a week later i started having a very bad
back ache at my lower back. I went in for a massage and some yoga exercises
but it still really hurts. Also days before my back started aching, I was usually
sitting in front of the laptop on the floor for hours arching my back and i've
been going for pilates, yoga and zumba classes one of each that week. can
these be a cause to?. I went in for a check up with my doctor for my 2 week
check up after my abortion and he said all is well since i had no symptoms of
any infections. But my back still really hurts. So can you please help me out
on what may be the cause and how i can cure it?. Also another question,
when can I have sex again or have baths and swims again?. how will i know
when my uterus is closed?it has been about two weeks exactly since my
abortion. Thanks

Answer
Dear Leonie,

Thanks for your email. I'm glad you went back for your checkup. You should have been instructed when you can have baths and swim. I would say you would be ok now but I would prefer you to have a doctor's permission, since I'm not a medical professional.

I'm not sure about your back problems. It could just be from your posture or your habits as you mentioned. Did you ask about your back problems at your checkup? The classes could be something that you are not used to and cause the back problems. I really can't say but keep trying to figure it out.

If you have any psychological, mental or spiritual problems from abortion, please let me know. I can help with post abortion healing.
