Expert: - 9/12/2010


Question
I had a abortion in the year of 2007 when i was 15, and i
was 15 weeks up to the time of it. Maybe two weeks after i
had sex and then when my period came i started having brown
discharge before and after when i never had it before i had
the abortion. Now 3 years later I'm experiencing the brown
discharge for a week and it feels like I'm on my period
(cramps,moodiness etc.) but I'm not and i know it's going to
be another week after my period that  have the brown
discharge, it seems like it wont go away. I'm really scared
since i haven't had it checked out. But, in the same year of
2007, i got a pap and they didn't say anything was wrong
then; Would there be anything wrong now?

Answer
Dear Jessie,

Have you ever talked to a doctor about this? This is something you should have checked out. I don't know if the Pap test would be the only thing that would be concerning. I am concerned about this and would like to talk to you more. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can discuss this situation.

Sincerely,
