Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Bleeding after an abortion is a normal occurrence. Generally, the bleeding lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. However, if the bleeding is heavy and prolonged, it is not normal. This may be related to poor uterine contractions or retained fetal membrane, with poor uterine contractions being more common. It is recommended that you visit the hospital where you had the abortion for a check-up.
