Post-abortion ?'s: If the abortion was done via a "D&C", bleeding is common after the procedure, but usually is not a concern. If heavy bleeding (more than a menstrual flow) continues, see your surgeon who performed the abortion, as fragments of the pregnancy tissues may be retained and cause the bleeding, which may need further treatment.
