Removed Dead Fetus Surgically, Period Keeps On And Off, Bleeding Lightly. What Do I Do?
I had a surgical procedure to remove a dead fetus in january. My period started on sat 16th feb and has been on and off since. I was wondering how long this cycle will continue as i am starting to worry as i can go a couple of days or a day with very little bleeding . Started bleeding today after i had emptied my bowels. Still bleeding but lightly.
Hello Thanks for your query. After a pregnancy termination, spotting / bleeding might continue upto 6 weeks. I would advise you to consult your gynecologist for a routine check up , which is advisable 6 weeks post partum. That would rule out any complications like retained tissue, anemia etc, which could cause such spotting. take care.
