How to know if abortion was successful or not?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I found out that I was four weeks pregnant last week. I took Misoprostol sublingually three times at three-hour intervals. Later that evening, I had serious cramps and diarrhea. I bled a little and passed out blood clots twice.
Then the next day, I noticed I was passing out blood tissues. I felt the drug did not work. Two days later, I took another four pills of Misoprostol. I had a fever for a few hours, plus diarrhea and cramps. I bled a little a few hours later. Was the abortion successful or not?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Medical abortion is available once a pregnancy is detected via ultrasound (usually around five weeks) up to nine weeks (63 days) of gestation. The abortion is achieved using a combination of two medications that work together to terminate a pregnancy.
If you feel it is an incomplete abortion, I suggest you meet with your doctor and get a scan done to confirm that the abortion is complete. If it is not complete, the doctor may advise you on what to do next. If it is crossed after nine weeks, he may plan a surgical method.
Please consult your gynecologist at the earliest. He/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
For more information consult an internal medicine physician online.
