Hello and welcome to HCM
Some women may experience bleeding from the vagina after an induced abortion. Sometimes due to retained products of conception (bits of plancental tissue) may remain adherent to the uterine wall and this too causes lot of bleeding.
However, it is unusual to bleed from any other site of the body.
Bleeding at sites such as legs needs investigation.
Get your complete hemogram done especially platelet counts.
A fall in platelet counts can lead to bleedings as small pin head sized haemorrhages.
This could be due to acute ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Post me the results of complete hemogram.
Thanks and take care
