Answer
Carolina,

I would recommend consulting a doctor, not necessarily just at the health clinic. This could be a serious side effect and needs to be checked out. Usually you are recommended not to have sex for a week or more. When were you advised? Your body needs to heal itself after an abortion, that is why you should abstain from sex. Also, if you have sex again, you risk having another abortion if you get pregnant.

If you suffer any emotional or psychological effects after abortion, please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more. I have experience in post abortion counseling and have materials I can send you. Hope to hear from you soon. And don't take any chances with your health. Stay in touch and take care of any health problems.

Sincerely,
