Post-Abortion Syndrome: Understanding Symptoms & Recovery


Question
I had an abortion a little over 2 weeks ago through the abortion pill. Afterwards i had heavy bleeding and cramps. Everything normal that i was told i would have. After 2 days it slowed down and stopped hurting as much. And then yesterday i just immediately felt horrible. I had nausea and stomach pains and had a fever of 99.8. I took some Tylenol and it seemed to go away and i feel much better now but my stomach still hurts a little. After doing some reading online i came across the postabortal syndrome and was curious if i could have that? Because i was fine all day and for about a week already after the abortion symptoms and then last night it just hit me and i don't really know what it could be that would cause nausea, sweating, fever, upper stomach pains, and lightheadedness. Thanks.

Answer
These could be physical symptoms after abortion but there are also emotional, mental and spiritual problems that are possible. If you have these physical symptoms, I would strongly recommend that you get medical help. Maybe not from the original clinic but your regular physician. You could have an infection or some other problem. Don't hesitate to get medical help and treatment. If you can't get in anywhere, go to an emergency room.
