Question
i had an abortion at 6weeks and me and my boyfriend had sex about a week and three days after.. when i woke up i was bleeding a little ..is that normal or should i be worried?
Hi Monica,
It was just a little early to have sex. I always recommend: nothing in your vagina (inclusing sex) the first 14 days after an ab.
Because the way to the uterus is still not closed again.
A little bleeding doesn't seem to really matter.
But: take care: No unprotected sex if you do not want a baby.
Bye for now.
Dr Shan
