Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My wife used Mifegest pills for the abortion of one-month pregnancy but she is still bleeding up to 12 days and I am not with her right now to take her to a doctor. Which medicine or precaution will help her?

Please reply.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If she is bleeding moderately after 12 days, she needs to see a gynecologist and get an ultrasound to see if there are any products of conception left behind inside the uterus.

If there are, then she needs to undergo a dilatation and curettage, which is a minor surgical procedure to empty the uterus. If the products are left behind, they can get infected, too.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
