Had Surgical Abortion, Inflammation In Labia Lips, Swelling, Redness, Bleeding. On Antibiotics. Is It Because Of Driving Too Much?

I just had an abortion a week ago (surgical) I am on my last day of antibiotics one pill left to go before bed time. My "period" technically hasn't stopped. I have sensitive labia lips as it is and I've been required to wear a pad. Yesterday I did an inordinate about of sitting because I was driving a lot and later my labia lips became inflamed, swollen, and red. I also am still kind of bleeding, but it looks like bloody discharge. What is wrong with me?

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
After surgical abortion, or spontaneous abortion, there will be red discharge for 10 days, and white discharge, for 10 more days. So for 20 days you should avoid long drives, etc. You may have to change the pads frequently.
You are finishing the antibiotics so ask your doctor about the necesity of the drugs. If she says no its O.K.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
