Why is my post-abortion bleeding smelly and prolonged?

I’m 24 years old, had a medical abortion on 25th of December, I’m currently noticing foul smell or the bleeding more than a week after the abortion, what could be wrong and what can I do?

The presence of a bad smell and long-term bleeding can be indicators of an infection or the retention of the tissue. The other conditions may include more pain or the presence of fever. First of all, it's very important to take care of your health and to urgently visit a gynecologist for an examination. You will get a comprehensive body check-up and appropriate treatment options will be recommended.

Am i pregnant? I’ve been having some slight cramping and I took a pregnancy test.

Female | 25

You didn't mention the pregnancy test and also even if it is possitive, you need to see your gynecologist. They can ask for some tests and confirm about pregnancy or any other health conditions

My last period date was 11th April, I had an intercourse on 19th April & took Unwanted 72 on 20th April, I got my withdrawal bleeding on 26th April, which was lasted for 3 days, So am I pregnant or not...?? & When will I get my normal period next month??

Female | 23

Taking unwanted 72 can reduce the risk of pregnancy. The withdrawal bleeding you experienced is a common side effect. Take a urine pregnancy test a few days after your expected period date.

I am 33 years old woman..I took abortion pills misoprost and mifegerine and I just get little blood than it stops...plzz tell me what to do..is my abortion complete or not.

Female | 33

Taking abortion pills can make you bleed a little but it is usual to have some bleeding. If the bleeding goes away quickly and you have only a small amount of bleeding after, it can mean that the abortion is done. Just chill out and see how you feel. If you have intense pain, fever, or heavy bleeding, go to the nearest hospital without delay.

High levels are normal in pregnancy, but if they are too high, check with gynaecologist for infections or inflammation

The given ranges are the levels of HCG hormone in non-pregnant and pregnant females’ blood by gestational weeks, as per data. To ensure precise pregnancy confirmation, it is advised to visit the obstetrician-gynecologist and undergo a blood test. In all other cases concerning menopause, one should go to a gynecologist.
