I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.

I'm really worried because I've been having a lot of pain on the left side of my stomach and irregular periods for about a year now. I recently had an ovary scan and they found follicles. It's been really tough dealing with this pain and I'm not sure what to do. Is there any way to decrease the pain and the number of follicles? I'm looking for a more permanent solution, if possible.

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just had a cervical cerclage because my cervix measures 2.4cm. My doctor said I had a vaginal infection and recommended using Cansoft vaginal suppositories for three days. I inserted the Cansoft last night and noticed a watery discharge mixed with some remnants of the capsule. This morning, I still felt a little wet with more watery discharge. Is this something normal after using Cansoft, or should I be worried about a possible water leak?
