Heavy Bleeding After A Medical Abortion. Swollen Stomach. Why?
Hi, I had a medical abortion 2 days ago, I have quite heavy bleeding which I m told is normal but the lower part of my stomach is swollen and very hard, it s starting to feel as though I ve pulled something but I ve just been resting more or less, what does this mean? Thank you. At the time of the termination I was 6 weeks and 6 days.

Hi,
Firstly, your pregnancy should be confirmed by a gynecologist regarding the gestational age and intrauterine presence before you wish to go for a medical abortion. The dosage as prescribed by your doctor only should be administered. Otherwise, there is a risk of incomplete abortion and infection along with excessive bleeding. You should see your specialist now to evaluate your condition and further management. Take care.
