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.

Can anyone tell me the cost of surgery for an endometrial polyp and a right ovarian septate cyst in Kolkata and can both these procedures be done together in one operation

The cost for surgery to remove an endometrial polyp and a right ovarian septate cyst in Kolkata can vary, but you can expect to pay between ‚Çπ50,000 and ‚Çπ70,000. It's possible to perform both procedures in one surgery, but the exact approach and cost will depend on the size and location of the polyp and cyst, as well as other individual factors, such as the size and location of the polyp and cyst.
