Had An Abortion. Bleeding Subsided. Have A Mild Yellow Discharge. Is It Post Abortion? Time To Cure?

I had an abortion two weeks ago. The bleeding subsided after the first week. I passed a few larger clots. There is still a remaining mild yellow discharge. Nothing too terrible. I just wanted to know if it was normal post abortion. Also, how long after can I resume my normal workout routine (swimming, cardio, sexual activity)?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It is not normal to have a persistent abnormal discharge after a D&C procedure, especially two weeks later. This might be a sign of an infection. You need to contact your doctor for an exam, labs, and an ultrasound.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
