Is Marijuana Intake Post A Surgical Abortion A Concern?
I'm having a surgical abortion at 12 weeks tomorrow. Usually when I suffer from cramping during my period I smoke weed or consume low THC edibles. Will smoking weed hinder the healing process after a surgical abortion? Should I avoid it all together or wait a certain amount of time? I just know there's cramping involved and weed usually helps me through it during my period.

Hello,
In my opinion, you should avoid this as it will not only prevent healing but also it affects our nervous system. So post-abortion avoid it. Secondly, to avoid cramping pain during menstruation, it's better to take antispasmodic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mandavi Rai
