View allI'm just a bit worried after my abortion started on April 10th, and even after the medicine course, my bleeding didn't stop. When I visited the gynecologist, the ultrasound showed an incomplete abortion, and she advised going for a vacuum aspiration to prevent any infection. But honestly, I didn't want to go through that procedure, so I took more misoprostol for three days, around 400 mg twice daily, making it 8 mg per day. After that, I experienced more bleeding and cramping, but everything seems to have stopped after a week. There's no more bleeding, no cramping, and the only discharge I'm noticing is the usual natural white discharge. It's been 12 days now, and everything feels back to normal. So, I'm curiousdoes this mean my abortion is now complete and there are no leftover tissues? Could you give me some advice on this?
Although you've experienced bleeding and cramping after self-administering additional misoprostol, it's crucial to schedule a follow-up ultrasound with your gynecologist to confirm complete abortion and rule out any remaining tissue or complications.

My wife is 7 months pregnant and she started vomiting, but then she noticed there was some blood mixed in. Should we be worried about this? Is it a serious issue or something normal during pregnancy?
Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge _Current Status_ 1. _90% healed_: The wound has made significant progress in healing. 2. _Small raw area remaining_: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid. _Fluid Discharge_ 1. _Serous discharge_: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process. 2. _Delayed healing_: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process. _Recommendations_ 1. _Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment_: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN. 2. _Add a topical agent_: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing. 3. _Elevate the affected leg_: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.
