A member asked:

Why is big blood clots a bad sign after an abortion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should not: Have heavy bleeding after an abortion as that would indicate a problems like retained products , the uterus not contacting properly, rarely uterine perforation, please call the doc who did the ab or go to the er.
