Question
Hi,
I'm 25 years old, from India. 1 full term normal delivery 14 months back.
I had an abortion with abortion pill a week ago. Follow up scan this week shows "mixed echoic material in the lower uterine segment and cervical canal suggestive of retained products". I still have slight bleeding,but no cramps or fever.
I really do not want to undergo any invasive procedures. What are my options?
Thank you.
You can repeat the Misoprostol by taking a total of 4 tablets. What you do is place 2 on each side of the mouth between the cheek and the gum. They stay there for 30 minutes and then you swallow the pills. The cramping of the uterus helps you pass the clot.
