Question
After my abortion, I have been bleeding off and on, sometimes its a brown color and sometimes its red, is that normal?also its not every day its off and on. How long will this last.
Dear,
yes that is normal. Old blood is brownish. The first months after the abortion irregular bleeding is often seen.
If the bloodloss is very heavy, you better see your doctor for some prescription of syntometrin.
No need to worry.
bests, dr Shan
