A member asked:

How do i know if i have an uterine infection or not after medical abortion? bled for two weeks after using misoprostol and now spotting heavily.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal pattern : You can bleed as long as 4 weeks after a medical abortion. Signs of infection are vaginal discharge with odor, pain, cramping and bleeding longer than 4 weeks. A serious symptom is fever.
