I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.

I'm a bit confused about some medication my doctor mentioned. They advised me to take Duphaston, and I'm also hearing about Jigest. Are they basically the same thing? Could you explain the difference, if there is any?

yes you can

I'm really worried because my 19-year-old girlfriend is pregnant and we're considering MTP tablets. What kind of pain should we expect, and is there anything we can do to help reduce it? I'm really concerned for her well-being, and I want to make sure shes as comfortable as possible. Can you provide any advice or information?

Yes, a 19-year-old girl can undergo Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) with the appropriate supervision of a healthcare provider. The pain experienced during the process can vary from person to person, but pain management options can be discussed with the healthcare provider. To help reduce pain, your girlfriend can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol. Additionally, the healthcare provider may prescribe medications like Mifepristone and Misoprostol for the procedure, which can help manage pain and discomfort.
