Are you having safe sex?

Sharon is a 19 year old student, She lives with her Aunt and Uncle. She was rushed in to the hospital because she was bleeding from her Vagina and feeling faint. She told her Aunt who brought her in she had been seeing blood in the last 3 days as it was her periods. When Sharon got to me, she was very weak, and tired. she could barely stand without any assistance.
I admitted her, took some blood samples for tests and started giving her drips pending when she was fit to speak.
When she came around a little bit, I began taking a proper history of what had happened to her. It turned out she had missed her periods the month before because she was pregnant and her boyfriend convinced her to get an abortion which helped bring her "periods" back; but almost at the cost of her life unknown to them.
The danger with abortions include:

• over scrapping the womb which reduces chances to get pregnant later in life.
• over poking the womb and possibly cutting through it and potentially injuring the intestine. 
• developing an infection in the womb.

*if the last 2 complications are not timely and properly addressed they could lead to fatal outcomes*

How to know your abortion has gone wrong,

• the bleeding is not reducing.
• you notice a foul smelling discharge form your vagina.
• you start running temperature and start feeling cold after the procedure.

How to avoid unwanted pregnancy

• Abstain :)
• If you must, use a condom or other forms of contraceptives.
• Make sure your man removes the condom as soon as he ejaculates.
• "Withdrawal" method or Safe periods - having sex on the days you are less likely to conceive are some of the natural methods you could try.
• Talk with your doctor on the form of birth control that is best for you, you would be glad you did.

Update on Sharon: She received 2 bags of blood, we helped her complete what her 'doctor' started, and I hope she's practising safe sex today.
