Medical Abortion and LS

Posted , 4 users are following.

I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me whether a medical Abortion can trigger LS?

I had a medical abortion in April which was an incomplete one and had to get it sorted in May then had oral contraceptive for the month of June and after I came off it then i was diagnosed with LS (in mid July), is there any correlation?

    Not sure about an abortion but it is thought in a lot of circles of LS women that trauma to the area can trigger LS, e.g a stressful birth that might need intervention. Sounds like something went very wrong in your circumstances and possibly is linked.
