A member asked:

Is it normal to have a bloody muscus after sex , just had an abortion 5 days ago and had an iud inserted ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: No,its not normal but understandable since your cervix was probably still boggy after the recent abortion and then the iud insertion. Intercourse certainly could have caused the bleeding. Abstain from vaginal intercourse for another week or so.
