QuestionQUESTION: i recently had a surgical abortion .my concern is that i try to do simple activities( go to the kitchen, walk...etc) but i get abdominal pains so bad that i need to stop everything.this pain has been increasing, at first i had little bleeding and little or no pain and for some reason the more activities i do the more i bleed. i have been taking the pills as directed and also ibuprofen for pain but it doesn't work . am concerned that something might be wrong.
ANSWER: Hi, jessica,
It does sound to me also like there is something wrong. I highly recommend you go to a doctor, but not the one who did the abortion. With an increase in bleeding, you should go as soon as possible. Here is something you also can try, for the bleeding. Try eating food with hot red pepper in it, or taking cayenne.
Have you had any fever or anything like that? I'm wondering if something got left behind. Also, I'm wondering how far along you were when you had the abortion. It sounds also like there could be an injury of some sort.
Please let me know what you find out. I'll be praying for you. Take care.

AnswerHi, jessica,
It sounds like you could have an infection. Only a doctor can tell for sure, but those are indications of that possibility. Please get to the doctor right away. Your life could depend on it. I will continue to pray for you. Take care. Please let me know when you are all right again.
