I had a medical abortion about 45 days ago, and the bleeding had stopped, but now I'm noticing some spotting again. The blood looks kind of brownish and it's thicker than usual. I don't have any pain in my abdomen or fever, but I'm just a bit worried. Is this type of spotting and discharge normal, or should I be concerned?

What are my options to remove fibroids and still keep my uterus? Can it be done through the vagina or is open or laparoscopic surgery the only way? I'm worried about the recovery and which method would be best for me.

Myomectomy under laparoscopic guidance is advised to the patient.
