Question
i had a medical termination 3 weeks ago,iv since bled heavy each day which seems to b getting heavier and im passing large blood clots upto 4 times a day is this normal?iv had no cramps until today im very worried as doctor not really concerned

Answer
Hi dear Louise,
there are lots of complaints about medical terminations.
That you loose a lot of blood is no exception. You'd better see another doc to let him test your blood. One in 1500 looses so much blood that they need a transfusion.
I do not understand why your doc is not concerned.
Loosing blood for three weeks is really bad.
You might as well go to the emergency department of a nearby hospital.
Bests and good luck.
Dr Shan.
