Patient's question:
I went to the clinic this afternoon for an abortion. The doctor prescribed a medication for me to place inside the vagina. I inserted it at 10:30, and now I'm experiencing bleeding. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is likely that misoprostol tablets were used to soften the cervix and enhance uterine contractions. Vaginal bleeding is normal in this case. Please pay close attention to monitoring the amount of vaginal bleeding and the condition of lower abdominal pain. If the vaginal bleeding is excessive, you must go to the hospital for follow-up treatment and management.If you are at home, it is recommended that you go to the hospital promptly after experiencing vaginal bleeding again and inform the doctor. Carefully observe whether any tissue-like material is expelled. Monitor the amount of vaginal bleeding closely. If the bleeding exceeds your usual menstrual flow, it is essential to undergo a D&C procedure promptly.
