Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have suspected abortion at 10 weeks and 6 days with heavy bleeding yesterday. I have my TVS ultrasound today and it shows heterogeneous endometrium. Is it fine?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the report attachments. (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Based on your dates, if your gestational age is 10+6 weeks, and if you had heavy bleeding, most likely it indicates an abortion wherein the product of conception have been expelled already. The heterogeneous endometrium just indicated the thickened uterine lining which develops in pregnancy to support the embryo, which will take some time to become normal. I am assuming your bleeding would have stopped by now and your gynecologist would have advised you some antibiotics to prevent any infections. If not then please consider taking them.

I hope this helps.

Investigations to be done

Repeat the scan after two weeks.

Preventive measures

Avoid pregnancy for the next two to three months, evaluate and then plan a pregnancy.

Regarding follow up

Evaluate yourself prior to planning a pregnancy in the view of recurrent miscarriages.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Can you please prescribe me some antibiotics?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes sure, I will prescribe, no problem in that. You can take tablet Orni - O (Ofloxacin & Ornidazole combination) twice daily after food for five days and tablet Pantop 40 mg on empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast for five days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
