View allI'm really concerned because I had a family planning operation along with an abortion back on April 24th, 2018. Right after the procedure, I just had spotting and some stomach pain. But now, 13 days later, I'm experiencing bleeding. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take to address this?
The bleeding 13 days post-family planning operation and abortion warrants immediate medical attention; possible complications include infection, retained products of conception, or hemorrhage; contact your surgeon or gynecologist,

Can a girl really get pregnant if she's still a virgin and there wasn't full penetration? Like, if there was just rubbing with some precum involved, is pregnancy still possible? I'm just trying to understand how risky it is, and how worried we should be about pregnancy in this kind of situation.
Yes, it is possible for pregnancy to occur even without full penetration if sperm from precum comes into contact with the vagina. Though the risk is lower, its still a possibility, so using contraception is important to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Can period be delayed by 10 days?
Periods can get delayed by any number of days. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.
