Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

This is an emergency. I underwent a medical abortion at eight weeks stage and everything was going fine but suddenly since yesterday, I have been bleeding very very heavily. It happens suddenly and there are large clots as well that passed out. I took the medical pills two weeks back. Please can you help me out?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are having heavy bleeding then probably your abortion was not complete. You should immediately get an ultrasound scan to see if the uterus is empty or not. If the uterus is not empty then you have to get it resolved by removal of products of conception by using instruments. If you will neglect this it may lead to sepsis and adverse effects on your health.

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