Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Following an abortion, it is common to have spotting, intermittent bleeding per vagina, and crampy pain.

It takes some time to settle down. Once your hormone levels are normal, your bleeding will stop and the menstrual cycles will regularize again.

It has been a month now that you had the abortion, it would be wise to get a transvaginal ultrasound to make sure that there is no retained products of conception in the uterus.

There is nothing to panic now. Ensure you take adequate fluids orally and take adequate rest as well.

You should be fine soon. Do write back if you have more queries.

Regards,
