Question
Dr. Shan I had my abortion procedure on Friday April 9th tomorrow will make 14 days and I have stopped bleeding my only concern is that I'm having a slight creamish looking discharge the doctor gave me a rx for  Flagyl to take 4 as a single dose right after my procedure and docxycillin and methergen like normal I have taken all these meds and followed all the rules given to me. Do you think I should consult a doctor or see if the discharge goes away on it's own I go for my follow up at the clinic Saturday the 24th but they are only gonna do a sono to make sure my uterus is back down to it's normal size.

Answer
Hi Joya,

You got the right medication. Only now all bacteries are removed from your vagina, the good ones also
It takes some time to restore the normal bacterial situation.
The discharge will stop by itself.
Noworry. You also might ask the clinic people about this when you are there. They will answer.
Bests,

Dr Shan
