Greenish black stools post abortion

It's likely that you will experience some bleeding for about 14 days after the abortion and have pains similar to period pains. You may also feel sick and have spotting up to your next period. Don't worry if your periods take a while to settle down. If you're soaking more than three sanitary towels per hour, or bleeding very heavily for a week, then you need to contact someone at the clinic or hospital. You should go back to your around two to three weeks after the abortion to make sure that everything is OK. If you haven't done this already, this would be a good time to talk about what contraception is available to you to avoid another unwanted pregnancy. Infection is the most common risk of abortion and if that's not dealt with could lead to future problems with your fertility, in the same way that it could if you had an untreated STI. A black stool caused by food, supplements, medication, or minerals is known as "false melena." Iron supplements, taken alone or as part of a multivitamin for iron-deficiency anemia, may cause stools to be black or even greenish in color. Foods that are dark blue or black in color may also cause black stools. Substances that can cause false melena are: Black licorice, Blueberries, Iron supplements, Lead. I hope this will help you.
