I'm worried because I was 3 weeks pregnant and took the abortion pills prescribed by my gynecologist, but I've been told my womb wasn't cleaned out properly. Can you tell me how much it might cost to get my womb cleaned up?

Depends on various factors such as the healthcare facility, location, and specific procedures required. The cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You may need to undergo a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Misoprostol to help with the process. It is important to follow up with your gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.

My wife is 33 weeks pregnant and her placenta is in the upper segment, grade 2. Could this be a problem? I'm really looking for some advice.

Monitor her closely for any signs of bleeding or other complications. It is recommended to avoid activities that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as heavy lifting or sexual intercourse. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to monitor the mother and baby closely. In case of any bleeding, abdominal pain, or contractions, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
