Question
Hi im amanda, On january 10th I had a surgical abortion. Bleeding normal for about 3 to 4 weeks then one day while working it got extremely heavy non stop and passing large amounts of clots. I was rushed to the ER and was told i had left over tissue and soon after had a D&C surgery. This was Feb. 14th, after the surgery ive been bleeding everyday, once in a while passing small clots. Ive been bleeding since jan 10th and i feel like something STILL is wrong! Is it normal for me to still be bleeding? Did the D&C not work well either?

Answer
Hi Kelly,

Yes, I would suggest that you be concerned and find some help about this. Perhaps you should go to your regular doctor or an emergency clinic. I'm not sure if I would recommend that you go back to your original abortion provider. In my opinion, it is dangerous to have bleeding for so long. It can cause anemia or other problems. I'm not a medical expert so please get advice as soon as possible. Please email me privately at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
