Hello, my domestic worker has been for a scraping of her womb to a clinic in a dodgy area of town, I am very concerned about her...I think she may have had an abortion done...is there any thing I should know to help her out? She has a little boy of 2, who we look after, if anything ahappens to her as an after math, what do I do, what symptoms do I look for?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and very much appreciate your concern. You should make sure what procedure she had, firstly. If the procedure was indeed an abortion done in unhygienic surroundings, she runs the risk of infection. You have to look for signs of infection like fever, pain in the uterus, foul smelling discharge, bleeding, which can be heavy if there are any retained products etc. Please make sure she is using proper genital hygiene and not using any tampons. Hope this helps.
