Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My friend had MTP and passed the lumps. But, her second scan showed RPOC. The doctor gave her Misoprostol 200 mg two doses for three days. After taking medicine, she has not bled. Is that fine or should we worry?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It should be fine, if she has passed the RPOC (retained products of conception). Sometimes, the RPOC will get passed without knowing it. If bleeding has stopped, then no need to worry. I hope that her doctor had given antibiotics.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

She did not even bleed once in these three days after taking medicine.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If there was no bleeding at all, then it is possible that it is inside, though small bits of POC often resolve on its own without causing further problems. But, it can be confirmed only by ultrasound. You should wait for a week and see if she bleeds or not.

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