Post-Abortion Bleeding: What's Normal & When to Worry


Question
Im 15 and had an abortion on the 11th of november. I stopped bleeding after the third day but I had ran a little bit and started bleeding again. After a week I had sex and a day after i started bleeding again. That lasted a few days then there was discharge. Today i wasnt bleeding just had a little discharge so i doushed. And I was fine until i had sex and now im bleeding again. What should I do? Should i worry or is it fine/ normal?

Answer
Hi Lanette,

The reason for your bleeding is because your uterus and cervix is not yet properly healed, the sex triggered bleeding which is normal and nothing to worry about. Don't have sex, douche, lift anything heavy or run for at least another week to prevent more bleeding.
