Question
What is the cause of bleeding for such a long time after a surgical abortion (2 mos)?

Answer
Hello,

I forgot to tell you that I found your question in the question pool here at Allexperts.com
When someone can't answer a question for some reason, they put the question in the pool so someone else can help you. So I realize that your question was a while back and the situation could have changed.

Hi Jolin,

I found one article about bleeding after abortion
http://afterabortion.com/physical.html

So there are several reasons. Something could be wrong or it could be somewhat normal. I would urge you to ask your doctor if it's been 2 months because it is dangerous to keep bleeding. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

The article above does note that with RU486 it's more of a risk. Also, it could mean an infection or your cervix could be torn. Also, if your uterus were punctured, you would have to see the doctor.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
