- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 23 year old female para 1 + 1 presented with a history of foul smelling per vagina bleeding with an amenorrhea of 18 weeks. It notes that she reported to have attempted to procure an abortion clandestinely following an argument with her partner; and she procured the unsafe abortion to avoid societal stigma of getting a child out of wedlock and for fear of disappointing her guardian.
