Question 1

So, I took Mifepristone yesterday morning around 8:30 and then took two Misoprostol tablets after four hours. Later, I took the remaining two Misoprostol tablets after another two hours. I started bleeding, but by last night, the bleeding became very light, almost nothing. I was dealing with stomach pain, vomiting, and feeling weak but now those symptoms have disappeared. How can I tell if the medication worked or not?

Accepted Answer

It's common for bleeding to vary after taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol, and some people experience lighter bleeding or cramping as the process progresses. You can confirm whether the medication worked by scheduling a follow-up ultrasound with your doctor to ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated completely. If you have concerns or symptoms persist, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.

Question 2

I have a 2 mm uterine fibroid and experiencing spotting between periods with irregular cycles. I'm trying to conceive are there any medications to treat fibroids without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding

Question 3

I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?

Accepted Answer

A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.
