Question

i had a medical abortion about a month ago. now i am having my first period since then, and it is very heavy and not like any of my other periods. It feels very abnormal and un-safe. please if anyone knows, i need to know if i should see a doc. i dont have medical insurance so i would have to go to an emergency room.

Answer 1

If it is very abnormal perhaps you should go see a doctor. Tell them about the abortion. Maybe they didn't do a D & C afterward. You could get an infection.

Answer 2

Call your doctor now or go to the emergency room if:

You are bleeding more than you ordinarily do during your menstrual period or you have bleeding that lasts longer than 2 weeks. You may pass clots, but this is not serious unless it is a large amount.
You have vaginal discharge that has increased in amount or that smells bad.
You do not have a menstrual period within 6 weeks of the surgery.
You feel lightheaded or faint.
You feel sad, tearful, hopeless, or you are unable to sleep.
You are sick to your stomach and cannot drink fluids.
You have pain that does not go away when you take your pain pills.
You have a fever over 100° (38°).
You have pain, tenderness, swelling, or redness in your legs, especially the back of your calf.
You have trouble passing urine or stool, especially if you have mild pain or swelling in your lower abdomen.
Watch closely for changes in your health, and be sure to contact your doctor if:

You do not get better as expected.


Hope i helped!

Answer 3

It is normal for your first period to be very heavy but if you are soaking 2 or more pads every hour for 2 straight hours then yes, you need to seek medical care.

Answer 4

That is very normal for it to be heavy. The next one will be lighter.
