Is Heavy Bleeding 2 Weeks After Abortion Normal?

Hi, I had an medicinal abortion 2 weeks ago.. i am bleeding till now but its not that much heavy, its very low. but since last 2 days i feel the cramps in my lower abdomen. I feel itchy in my nipples and today i saw 2 - 3 drops of water like discharge coming out from my right breast. Is it normal or i am still pregnant.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion the water discharge from nipples might be normal finding.Apply moisturiser over nipples to decrease itching.

Usually the bleeding might be there upto 2 weeks after medical abortion.

As there is still bleeding I suggest you to go for ultrasound examination .

Ultrasound helps in ensuring the abortion is complete and checks for any retained products of conception .

So kindly see a doctor to rule out incomplete abortion.

Nothing to worry.
Avoi stress.
Prolonged bleeding along with cramps needs to check for any retained products definitely.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
