Question
hi, i had an abortion 2 months ago and i am experiancing bleedig but it is minimal it is almost like a discharge. it was brown at first but now it is a light red colour.
Please kindly advise....
Regards,
Kirby
Dear Kirby,
Brown or red spotting or discharge is normal, intermittently, for months after an abortion. Your hormones are getting back into a cycle, and it can take 1-3 months. If however, you have been having bleeding daily, like a period, for 3 or 4 weeks in a row, you should be evaluated.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
