Done Medical Abortion. Dizziness, Light Headedness, Heartburn, Tender Breasts, Cramps. No Fever. Need For Concern

I had a medical abortion 10 days ago. I have been feeling dizzy/lightheaded every day since. No fever, but heartburn, tender breasts, and cramps still exist. I have my checkup tomorrow. Should i be consermed? I had sex one week after the abortion. But used protection and had stopped bleeding. Also I have been taking an antibiotic every day since the procedure to avoid any infections.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

The effects you are experiencing are purely hormonal. These are due to the pregnancy that was present, but now terminated. It will take sometime for these symptoms to normalize, but usually they should not take more than 28-30 days (i.e. by the next menstrual cycle).

There should be nothing to worry about. And even if you had unprotected sexual intercourse just 3-4 days ago, it is too early for this to result in a pregnancy or any of its symptoms. Do not worry, visit your doctor who will help control your symptoms.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shoaib-khan/64581 . I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
