Hi doc I'd like to know if it's normal for me to still be itching after I did a surgical abortion in November of 2021 and it's now March 2022?

Itching after a surgical abortion that persists for five months is not considered normal. It's recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional or the healthcare provider who performed the procedure to evaluate your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.
There are several potential reasons for persistent itching after a surgical abortion:
-
Infection: Itching could be a sign of an underlying infection, such as a vaginal or pelvic infection. Infections can occur after any surgical procedure and may require medical treatment.
-
Allergic reaction: It's possible to have an allergic reaction to medications, such as antibiotics or pain relievers, that were used during or after the abortion procedure. Allergic reactions can cause itching as a symptom.
-
Healing process: Itching can sometimes occur during the healing process. However, five months is an extended period, and it's essential to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out other potential causes.
Good luck and let us know if everything is ok now.
