Severe Bleeding a Month After Abortion Posted: 11-24-06 12:04pm
I had an abortion on 21st october, for
three weeks after I has slight bleeding as
normal. Last monday 13th nov, I had a
gush of blood and a couple of clots come
out. The same thing happened tuesday and
wednesday, then bleeding started normally.
I assumed I had commenced my
mensturation as it had been 4 weeks since
the op. However, again now I am having
gushes of blood and in the last two days 5
blood clots have come out.
I am scared about what is wrong.

What kind of abortion did you have?
Aboriton by pill is most likely to cause
these types of problems, which is why I
reccomend surgical, less bleeding and
spotting .

Surgical Abortion Posted: 11-24-06 12:43pm
I am living in japan and therefore had an
operation as this is the only option
available.
I assumed at first the bleeding was from
mensturation but it is going too long and
too much.
I am not having any pain at all. And
there is no bad smell to the blood.
I am scared that this problem will mean I
can not get pregnant again.

No, proloned bleeding does not mean your
fertility is ruined at all. Only other
extreme complications would cause that.
Definately speak to your doctor about
this, but it can be normal.
If women are active, exercise, or work too
much after an abortion, bleeding will
increase.

Thanks for that. I will go to the doctor
today and let you know what happens. I
am worried because the amount of blood
that has come out of me is too much for
just being left over from the operation
and it is like fresh blood. So I am
scared about where it is coming from.

It is possible that it is coming from a
piece of placenta still inside of you,
which is trying to pump blood into the
absent fetal tissue. This is why you need
to go see your doctor. It could be just
exersize, or it could me something more
severe.

your body is probably a little off still
from the hormonal difference and it is
probably just a heavy period. Consult
your doctor and just make sure everything
is fine.

Just Got Back From Hospital Posted: 11-24-06 23:38pm
Just got back from the hospital. They
did an ultra sound and said there is still
stuff inside me. So now I have tablets
to take for 10 days, this is supposed to
stop the bleeding in 2-3 days, once the
ten days is finished I should have a
period and then return to normal. If
this does not stop the bleeding I need to
go back for another operation.

Did they give you birth control or
antibodics? Did you have a medical
abortion originally or surgical?

She had a surgical abortion...
I am shocked that they left tissues inside
of you, usually after a surgical abortion
they ensure that everything was removed.
The tablets will help expel the leftover
tissue, I know what they are called here
in the us.
Most likely there was placental tissue
left, that could be why there was no
infection or fever that you would have
noticed.

You mean that they do not give you a
d&c afterwards? (just curious)
