After Abortion

After an abortion, the body typically goes through a recovery process as any residual tissue is expelled and hormone levels return to normal. This may involve some bleeding or spotting, similar to a heavy period, which usually lasts a few days to a week. Physical symptoms like cramping or fatigue can occur but generally improve quickly. Emotional responses vary and can include relief, sadness, or a range of feelings; support or counseling is often helpful. Follow-up medical care ensures proper healing and addresses any complications. Overall, recovery varies but most individuals resume normal activities within a short period.
