Post-Abortion Recovery: Understanding Your Period & Discharge


Question
dear doctor,
i had an abortion a few weeks ago. i heard that my periods are supposed to come like three weeks later but mine came in less than a week. the periods lasted for like two days which is a shorter period than my normal. i have noticed some brownish red thick discharge also which look like dried periods. the abortion conducted was a suction as i was just a month pregnant. i was also give antibiotics to prevent an infection. i took the antibiotics but after two days, i started vomiting the drugs and had to stop taking them. i feel fine otherwise and have no pain. could not finishing my medication have caused any problems?

Answer
Laura,

It's important to have your post abortion checkup. It usually should be about 2 weeks after to check on the physical aspects. If you have any emotional, psychological or spiritual after effects, please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
How is it going about the antibiotics?
