I'm a bit concerned because I took misoprostol after getting advice from a gynecologist, and now it's the third day, and I'm still experiencing irregular bleeding. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I took the abortion pill. Is this kind of bleeding normal, or should I be worried?

After taking misoprostol for a medical abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, it is normal to experience irregular bleeding for up to 1-2 weeks. If the bleeding is heavy or persists beyond 2 weeks, please consult your gynecologist. You can take ibuprofen for pain relief and consider using sanitary pads instead of tampons to reduce the risk of infection.

View allI just read my ultrasound report and I'm a bit worried. It mentions something like "retained products of conception," and "small left ovarian simple cyst." Also, it talks about a "heterogenous endometrium" and some vascularity, but I'm not really sure what all this means. Could this be serious? There was also something about minimal fluid in the pelvis and no obvious wall thickening in the bladder. Should I be doing something about this or is it something that will resolve on its own?
The report indicates the presence of small retained products of conception (RPOC) in the uterus, which can be seen as endometrial contents with vascularity. This finding should be evaluated clinically to determine its significance. Additionally, a small simple cyst is present on the left ovary, but it appears to be benign with no concerning features like septations or solid components.

I've noticed my vagina is red and itchy on the outside of the lips, and the skin is peeling off. It's white in some areas. I've been putting powder and Vaseline on it for the past two days, but the itchiness hasnt gone away. What can I do to make it better?
For a red, itchy, and flaky vaginal area, especially on the outer lips, consider using an over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal or anti-itch cream like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and avoid using powders and vaseline as they can exacerbate the issue; also, practice good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and consult a gynecologist if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?
You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
