I'm feeling pretty anxious right now and I need some advice. So, during sexual activity, the penis didn't actually go into the vagina but was rubbing around the opening a few times, and there was no protection used. I'm just really worried about the possibility of pregnancy from this. Can you help clarify whether this could actually happen?

I'm a bit concerned because I took mifepristone and then 24 hours later, I followed it up with 4 tablets of misoprostol, just like my gynaecologist told me to. But I've only had a bit of spotting for a little while and then no bleeding at all, just some cramps and nausea. It's been over 21 hours since I took the misoprostol and I'm worried that it might not be working. Can you help me understand what's going on or what I should do next?

Given the lack of bleeding 21 hours after taking misoprostol, despite experiencing cramps and nausea, it's essential to follow up with your gynaecologist as soon as possible to assess the abortion's success and rule out any potential complications or ongoing pregnancy; you may recommend an ultrasound to confirm the outcome and provide further guidance.

My sister is 36 weeks pregnant and just got a Color Doppler done attached the report. Can you check if there are any complications or risks of blood loss during surgery? Would really appreciate your input, especially from Dr. Wadhwa.

It's understandable you're concerned, especially with a Color Doppler scan at 36 weeks. While Color Doppler is a safe and non-invasive procedure, it can reveal potential issues that might require intervention during surgery. The primary concern is not the Color Doppler itself, but rather the findings it reveals, which could impact surgical risks.
