Abnormal Bleeding After MTP - How to manage it?

About

The first period after an abortion could either be very heavy or intermittent. Some women spot for days after a medically terminated pregnancy while some might experience heavy bleeding. However, when a woman experiences excessive bleeding and cramps following the abortion procedure, this could be an abnormal phenomenon.

It is a rare condition and affects only 1% of the patients.

  • Treatable by a medical professional
  • Usually self-diagnosable
  • Lab tests or imagining may be required

Immediate medical attention should be sought if you soak two or more pads within two hours, and the blood clots are huge in size after an abortion. These are signs of abnormal bleeding and require immediate treatment.

Ages affected:

There is no specific age which is affected by this condition. All women who undergo abortion are at a risk of developing this condition.
