After an abortion procedure, paying attention to how your body is recovering is an important part of caring for your health. One possible complication is an incomplete abortion, which occurs when some pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus. Knowing the signs can help you recognize when additional care may be needed to protect your health.

Symptoms of Incomplete Abortion
Symptoms of an incomplete abortion can vary based on the method used and how your body responds. Contact a healthcare provider promptly if you experience any of the following:
- Heavy bleeding, such as soaking through more than one pad per hour for several hours, or bleeding that does not gradually lessen for two weeks
- Fever or chills, which may indicate infection
- Persistent or worsening abdominal or pelvic pain that does not improve with time
- Foul-smelling or unusual vaginal discharge
- Ongoing pelvic tenderness or a feeling of fullness
These symptoms may suggest that pregnancy tissue has not been fully expelled and that follow-up care is needed for recovery. This condition can escalate quickly, so the sooner you receive medical care, the better.
If you are considering abortion, it’s vital to never skip an ultrasound scan, STD testing, or follow-up care. You must have access to emergency care in the event of an emergency.
