A member asked:
Can a hormone imbalance after a abortion cause spotting between periods ?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A hormone imbalance is one of several causes of spotting between periods. It can also be a sign of an infection or retained tissue. If this has continued after your first period after the abortion, discuss it with your doctor to be sure what is going on. Hope this helps.

Not likely: If your cycle regularity has returned, then your hormones are likely normal. If your periods are heavier, there might be some retained tissue. you may need an ultrasound.
