Post-Abortion Recovery: Bleeding & Completion of Abortion - Expert Advice
QuestionHi Shan,
I got my abortion done through the abortion pill under the guidance of a medical practitioner. I was 7 weeks pregnant at that time. I have vaginal bleeding since 24th July. It had reduced considerably and then from last one week fresh bleeding started (similar to my period). How can I know if the abortion is complete? and also is this fresh bleeding normal? My Gyn is out of country and I am very apprehensive of seeing a new doctor. Please help I am very scared.
AnswerHi dear Kriti,
periods after an abortion are often irregular and unpredictable.
Incomplete abortions of a 7 weeks pregnancy normally leave no rests.
And if so, the uterus will clean itself with the periods coming.
Just be patient. All it needs is time.
No worry.
Take care,
Dr Shan
