I had a medical abortion a few days ago. I took mifepristone and misoprostol as instructed, but I haven't had any stomach cramps and only noticed slight bleeding for 45 hours. I've been feeling nauseous and even vomited a couple of times, but not right after taking the tabletit was about 3 hours later. The kit I used had 1 mifepristone, which I took two days before, and 4 misoprostol tablets that I took two each with a 78-hour gap in between. I'm really worriedis the abortion successful? If it isn't, what should I do? Is it okay to repeat the process?

To confirm if the abortion was successful, you should follow up with a healthcare provider for an ultrasound examination. If the abortion was not successful, your healthcare provider may recommend a surgical procedure to complete the abortion. It is not safe to repeat the medical abortion process without consulting a healthcare provider. It is important to seek medical advice to ensure your safety and well-being.

I've been experiencing some discomfort with vaginal itching and have noticed rashes in that area. It's also swollen, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicines or ointments that might help with this?

If the itching and swelling are localized to the external area, you can apply clotrimazole (an antifungal cream) or hydrocortisone (a mild anti-inflammatory) externally. These can help reduce itching and swelling.
