Question
I had a abortion 2 years ago without a follow-up. I have been spotting daily. Doctors have no clue. Birth control pills have not stopped the light watery vaginal discharge. What is wrong with me?
Dear Marini,
I'm not a medical professional so if your doctors cannot find out what is wrong, I really don't know. I am sorry to hear your plight about the bleeding. I'm sorry that you didn't have your followup appointment because that is very important as you can see. So are you saying that the doctor tried to use birth control pills to regulate your cycle? I don't really know how to advise you. Try a different doctor to get another opinion. Perhaps you should discontinue the birth control pills. Let me know what happens. My email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so I hope to hear from you soon.
