What Causes Prolonged Vaginal Bleeding And Dizziness After An Medical Abortion?

Hi, I had a medical abortion on March 10th and didn t bleed for about a week. After that first week I started bleeding with minor blood clots and eventually the heavy bleeding led to spotting and had a mix of bleeding levels. as of today I m still bleeding and it varies on a day to day. Some days I bleed heavy others I spot. Sometimes it s light pink and very dark. It s been more then a month of bleeding. I ve been examined by my ob and all ob results came back negative and stated that I was fine. But the bleeding still hasn t stopped not to mention its associated with dizziness and lightheadedness. Is this normal?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
After abortion there are many destructive changes to the uterus. So bleeding will subside in few days. If not, you can consult your physician for medication. Dizziness is due to blood loss. Blood loss decreases blood pressure which causes dizziness and light headedness. You might need iron supplements.
