Hi,
Prolonged periods with heavy bleeding and clotting, along with extreme weight gain after an abortion, could be signs of a complication related to the abortion procedure. Some possible complications include infection, retained products of conception, or uterine perforation. It is important to see a healthcare provider as soon as possible to get an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
In addition, the weight gain may be unrelated to the abortion and could be due to other factors such as changes in diet or exercise habits, hormonal imbalances, or other medical conditions. It is recommended to discuss these concerns with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
