I've been nursing a bump on the back of my head for a few days now, after slipping in the bathroom and hitting a tiled wall. I've noticed the swelling is almost gone, but the area still hurts when I touch it. Should I be concerned about a potential internal injury or is it pretty normal for this kind of thing? Would love some advice on whether it's wise to get it checked out.

- Misoprostol administration: You've taken 600mcg of Misoprostol.
- Ultrasound findings: Remaining products of conception (POC) detected.
Next Steps
- Consult a healthcare provider: Discuss your situation with a doctor or obstetrician.
- Surgical management: Consider a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to remove remaining POC.
- Medical management: Alternatively, your healthcare provider may prescribe additional Misoprostol or other medications to help expel the remaining tissue.
- Follow-up ultrasound: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound to ensure the uterus is empty and the abortion is complete.
Important Considerations
- Infection risk: Incomplete abortion can increase the risk of infection. Monitor for signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or heavy bleeding.
- Bleeding and cramping: Expect some bleeding and cramping during the completion of the abortion process.

Could this vibration be a new symptom related to my back problem, or should I be concerned about an infection? It's starting to worry me a bit.

I'm really worried because my grandfather just had a major paralysis stroke affecting the right side of his body. Is there a chance for him to recover from this? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.
The chances of recovery from a major paralysis stroke on the right side, also known as hemiparesis, depend on the severity of the stroke, the location and extent of brain damage, and the timeliness and effectiveness of medical treatment; with prompt and intensive rehabilitation, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, some patients can achieve significant improvement, but the degree of recovery varies widely, and it's essential to consult a neurologist or rehabilitation specialist to assess your grandfather's individual prognosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?
The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.
