I took a misoprostol kit for abortion on June 3rd but my ultrasound on July 1st showed an 11x7 mm retained product of conception in the fundal region. Is it possible for this to pass naturally in my next period or are there any medications that can help besides surgery? Are there alternative treatments in Ayurveda or Homeopathy?

I'm really worried because I've been married for about four months, and every time my wife and I try to have sex, she experiences a lot of pain in her vagina. She's a virgin. What could be causing this, and how can we deal with it?

It's common for women to experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, especially if they're virgins. This can be due to tension, anxiety, or the hymen. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure there are no underlying issues, and consider using a lubricant and taking things slowly to help ease the discomfort. Open communication with your wife is also important to ensure both of you are comfortable.
