Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

My periods are 20 days late and I need them to start within a day or two because I have LASIK eye surgery in 4 days. I'll be on heavy meds and want my period before the procedure. What can I do to make it come sooner?

Accepted Answer

It won't come so soon You need 5 days dosage following which period will come in 7-10 days

Question 3

I have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.

Accepted Answer

While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended
