Brief Answer:
Hot water bag

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your abortion seems to be completed as per history.

Breast tenderness is a part of the pregnancy you aborted. It might take a week for it to subside.

I suggest you apply hot water bag in morning and night for the pain to reduce.

This will help pain to reduce. Also wear tight cloth around chest to reduce breast pain.

Normal spotting

Hi,

Spotting you are experiencing is absolutely normal.

This is because of small remaining parts of abortion coming out.

There is nothing to worry about it.
