Question
Hi
I'm hoping you can help me, I had an abortion in February and it is now July...I have went through phases of light brown discharge to a heavy bleeding and clots...This has been going on ever since the termination.  Could i have an infection?  I had the type with the pill so no equipment was used. Please Help, Amy.

Answer
Did you get my answer below from 7/19? Let me know at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Hi Amy,

I'm not a medical doctor so I urge you to have a checkup from your regular doctor. Did you have your post abortion 2 week followup visit?
That is very important. This is not good that you are still bleeding at this time. I'm not sure if it is an infection since I can't diagnose over the internet. I'm concerned so please let me know what happens. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and please let me know.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
