A member asked:

I got an abortion on friday the first 2 days i had very little cramps & only spotting the past 2 days i have very painful cramps & i'm bleeding heavy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needing attention: After a successful elective abortion, symptoms of bleeding and pain should improve dramatically within a week. Any progression of symptoms (bleeding & cramps) need immediate attention. This could mean:1) retained placental tissue and/or 2) infection
