AnswerHello, neha,
It sound like you were injured. Abortion ALWAYS damages a woman's body, but what you are describing does not sound like the way it's supposed to be. You need to seek immediate medical care. It could be urgent. I also don't like the way you reacted to the anesthetic.
What worries me is that your uterus may have been perforated, or seriously damaged in some other way. It is customary to damage the surface of the uterus. They scrape away the lining and cut away the placenta. But they're not suppose to perforate anything. They're operating blind with a very sharp instrument on some very soft tissue, and they work fast. This kind of injury is far too common, unfortunately. It also worries me that you could bleed to death or experience a hemorrhage. So PLEASE go see a doctor immediately. Don't go back to the person who did the abortion. That person cannot be trusted, has poor medical judgment, and won't want to admit he hurt you. Find someone who believes abortion is unethical. He will have good medical judgment and will take good care of you. I don't have a really good way to help you find a good doctor, but what I recommend is that you talk to a local Catholic church and ask them to recommend someone. There are a few large cities in the southern portion of India where there are organizations, but there aren't many. Let me know what part of India you live in, and if you are unable to find anyone, I'll see what I can do.
Please take care of yourself. I will pray for you. Let me know how you do.
