Post-Abortion Bleeding After 2 Months: What to Know

Question

Answer
Hello, liliana,

Please know that I am not a doctor. I am a medical researcher.

Having an abortion is not normal in the first place, so neither is anything that happens afterwards. I am assuming you had a pill abortion. Is that correct? How far along were you? You shouldn't have bled for 2 months. This kind of bleeding is very debilitating. Brownish red blood is somewhat old blood. It may be old blood mixed with new blood. It may mean that you still have tissue in your uterus. If you had a surgical abortion, it may mean that you were injured more than usual (all abortions hurt women's bodies). If you are bleeding very much, I recommend you take cayenne. It's an herb and you can get it at the health food store. But you need to see a doctor and find out what the problem is. Do not go back to anyone involved in your abortion. They won't want to admit they harmed you, and they are hoping to escape liability.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to write, but please go see a doctor and then let me know what happens. We can talk more later.
