hi mam,i can understand your distress.most of people bleed for 2 weeks and a few upto 4 to 6 weeks.as scanning is also normal,you need not worry.i suggest iron preparations to my patients after medical or surgical abortion,especially with heavy bleeding.it is advisable to take iron preparations for atleast 3 to 4 months or until Hb% reaches 11gm%.if the following symptoms appear,you need a consultation: 1. Very heavy bleeding that soaks through more than 2 sanitary pads an hour. 2. Abdominal pain or discomfort that is not helped by pain relief medication or by heat pad. 3.Vaginal discharge that smells unpleasant. if you have any other queries,please do not hesitate to ask as i'm happy to attend you.
