Question
hello,
my girlfriend got a surgery abortion two weeks ago and 5 days later we had sex.
i just want to ask you what is going on since she's bleeding heavily two days ago, (2 pads/1 hour) but eventually the bleeding was slowing down yesterday (2 pads/day)
she supposes to go back to the abortion center this Wednesday for check up.
so my questions are: is she really have infection? if so, what are the best treatments?...
i also affair that she might get pregnant again...if so,  how likely?

please let me know as soon as possible.
thank you

Answer
Ryan,

It's important for her to have a post abortion checkup. She should have been instructed not to have sex for a while after an abortion and 5 days after was too soon. If you care about her, please help her in this case. Yes, she could have an infection. If you don't want pregnancy, you have to refrain from sex. That is the only 100% way of preventing pregnancy. No birth control method is 100% safe in preventing pregnancy. If you love her, you can consider marriage or refrain from sex.

Please think about this seriously,
