Question
I had a surgical abortion about six weeks ago, and I just started my period for the first time since. I have had cramps for over 24 hours straight, I've taken pain mess, that have always helped before with no luck. The bleeding is relatively heavy and contains dime size clots. Is this normal considering the procedure or should I see my doctor?
Dear Allison,
Go with your gut feeling. It's better to see your doctor than to take a chance on health problems. I would encourage you to consult your regular doctor not the person who was the abortion provider. Please get medical help as soon as possible. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com because I am concerned.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
