I'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.

View allI'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?
The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?
It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.
After a C-section delivery, it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your doctor's post-operative instructions. You can use a maternity belt to support your abdomen and help with pain relief. It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.
