A member asked:

I had an abortion nearly a year ago and my periods have been much lightwr since then with little or no cramp. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Light periods: Your condition needs to be thoroughly investigated. There is a condition that may develop after a scraping wherein you may form scar tissues inside the uterus and may cause light periods and occasionally an iinability to carry a healthy pregnancy. If it becomes a regular pattern i would recommend getting it evaluated.
