Should I Be Concerned About Retained Placenta After Medical Abortion?

I tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 36 hours and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days?Will my pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? a doctor told me to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried.

Not all pregnancy tissue may have passed yet. While some women do experience bleeding days after taking medication, others may not bleed significantly. The medications prescribed are to prevent infection, which is important. Retained tissue can lead to complications, but not experiencing bleeding does not necessarily indicate that is occurring. It’s crucial to follow up with your gynecologist to evaluate your situation and ensure proper care.

I advise you to visit a gynecologist for a diagnosis of your current health status. It is frequently due to a number of reasons, for instance hormonal imbalance, stress, or hidden medical problems. A gynecologist can do the thorough examination and give all the needed guidance

I'm having a pregnancy scare, I had protected sex 2 days after my period and it's been 25 days now, my period is a day late and I've taken a pregnancy test which came out negative

Female | 18

in protected sex pregnancy is not possible. Delayed mensuration may indicates other issues like stress, hormonal imbalance etc. Wait for few more days or if you are worried plz visit your gynecologist

I was prescribed primulot n to delay my period . The dosage was thrice a day . Instead of taking it every 8 hours , I mistakenly took it every 6 hours . Causing a 12 hour gap . I may have a slight spotting . Can I change my timings and switch to 8 hours

Female | 34

Don’t worry if your Primulot N dose timing was a little off. If you took it every 6 hours rather than 8, you might experience some slight spotting. The reason for this is that your hormone levels change. To solve the problem, take your medicine after every 8 hours as directed. This adjustment will help to normalize your hormone levels and prevent any bleeding.

Good day doc. I did an abortion, I received the injection and drug on Friday repeated it on Saturday since there was no bleeding. What could be the problem

Female | 25

Its normal not to bleed after an abortion.. Bleeding can start later.. The injection and drug may cause side EFFECts.. Watch for fever and heavy bleeding.. Call a doctor if you feel unwell or unsure... It is IMPERATIVE to take care of your health after the procedure.. Always follow up with your medical provider to ensure a full recovery.

I have a weird feeling in my vagina. I feel a burning sensation in the vagina, pain in the clitoris, and also constant tingling. I feel pain inside my legs, extending from the vagina to the buttocks, and my left leg specifically. This started when I was on my period and my pads used to get accidentally inside my vagina and I am afraid it might hurted the nerves. I took cafixime cause I thought it is bacterial vaginitis. I had this for like one week and then it went away for a week and came back again. After healing I rode a bicycle twice but for just few seconds. I also showered and some soup got into my vagina so I am afraid I damaged some nerves after it was healed. Finally, I had Two weird dreams. I dreamt that I am taking an exam and suddenly I felt Contractions in my vagina and woke up. It was very weird and uncomfortable and it happened twice. I am constantly not comfortable weather if I am sitting or lying in bed so it’s very distracting, and painful sometimes. I want to know what do I have?

Having periods after 11 days of intercourse... Any chance of pregnancy?

Female | 17

A woman could be pregnant if she gets a menstrual cycle after having sex for 11 days, but other times, this is not the reason behind it. You can see cramps in this regard or some bleeding that is not typical of a period. This may be due to the changes in your hormones, or there may be other issues that have lead to this. To diagnose the situation, it's advisable to take the pregnancy test a few weeks after the last time you had sex. Although it's not necessary to have periods after 11 days each month of the sexual act, it does occur sometimes, but it's not always indicative of pregnancy.
