Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have taken 7 abortion pills and had bleeding, clots, and cramps but still have bleeding. What could be the cause?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hello,

Welcome to iciniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. It would be better if you would send me detailed obstetric history, scans, and other details then it would be more beneficial and helpful. I have few questions for you.

  1. How long were you pregnant?
  2. Do you have any infection history?
  3. Which medications did you take?
  4. Did you confirm that you are pregnant and how many weeks?
  5. In induced miscarriage normally bleeding occurs with pain and gradually it expels the product of conception.
  6. So gestational age and length of pregnancy and dosage are to be taken according to gestation as well.
  7. You can have bleeding, for 2 weeks or more even depending on gestational age as well.
  8. For pain, you need to have a tablet Ponstan (mefenamic acid) 500 mg as per need.
  9. Have high vaginal swabs to check for infection.
  10. Have a healthy diet with iron like carrots, and apples.

Consult a specialist, take to them, and take medications with their consent.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
