I underwent medical abortion.There was very less bleeding.Please help.

Question

Hello doctor,

My period was delayed. I had a pregnancy check which was positive. I consulted a gynecologist since I did not want a baby and hence decided to go for medical abortion (as my son is just 12 months). She prescribed me with medicine and after 48 hours she had asked me to place 4 medicines in my genitals before going to bed. My menstrual cycle started the very next morning and continued for 3 days. After 15 days, she had called me for an ultrasound to examine whether all was done perfectly. I had an ultrasound scan (reports attached).

The doctor said that it has not come out completely and therefore prescribed medicine (prescription attached). She gave me two medicines to place in my genitals. Next morning, I had very less bleeding which gradually stopped at night. Doctor, I am very much confused as to what is happening. In no case, I want a medical abortion. Please suggest as to what should I do so that all gets fine.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concerns.

I have gone through your history and ultrasound scan and it is showing that the abortion is incomplete and there are a retained products of conception in the uterine cavity. (attachment removed to protect patient identity)

Your doctor had given Cytolog (Misoprostol) to clear that product. As you had only minimal bleeding, the chances of retained products are there, so you can repeat your ultrasound scan. If it is still present, then you should consult a gynecologist and get D&C (Dilatation and Curettage) done to clear the retained products of conception.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In my opinion, as you already had Cytolog tablets and as it was not effective, you should go for surgical method of abortion. So, you should consult a gynecologist for the same.

Take care.
