Why Am I Bleeding Light Even After 3 Weeks Of Abortion?

Hi, I had a surgical abortion 3 weeks ago, I was 8 weeks into my pregnancy when I had the procedure. Cramping stopped after a week but the bleeding was consistent and light, I m still spotting very lightly till today. I took all the antibiotics and started the pill a day after the procedure, I was also treated for chlamydia approximately 2-3 weeks before my abortion. I had intercourse with my partner yesterday and had cramps and burning afterwards. We also had intercourse today, I havnt had any cramps yet but I am burning down there! Sometimes when I d have a UTI it would burn after sex or peeing after sex but now it just burns so much more and it s not going away. I m scared there may be a complication with my abortion, I don t want to go to my doctor for this it was already hard enough getting her to refer me to a clinic. Please help me!

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Burning sensation in vagina post intercourse is most likely due to vaginal infection.
This infection can be the result of the abortion procedure.
You should consult your OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally and if the infection is confirmed, then appropriate antibiotics should be taken timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
