Brief Answer:
Ultrasound to rule out retained products
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually after undergoing abortion, minimal bleeding can be seen for 2 to 3 weeks.
But as you are having prolonged bleeding, better to rule out retained products.
Consult gynecologist once, get examined and undergo ultrasound.
By this possibilities like retained products, pelvic infection can be ruled out.
Pelvic infection can present with symptoms like pain abdomen, bloating sensation etc.
Check for your hemoglobin levels also.
Anemia can lead to symptoms like easy fatiguability, headache etc.
By examination and investigations the exact cause of your problem can be identified and treated.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the response, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
