Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

In addition to pregnancy, there are several reasons for delay in periods. Therefore first get a pregnancy test done.
If pregnancy is confirmed then you may think of natural methods for abortion.
Eating fresh pineapple, pomegranate and unripe papaya are all known to cause miscarriage. You need to eat daily one unripe papaya/ fresh pineapple ( medium size) until you are successful.

I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

Hi,
Welcome back.

There is no clear evidence as to how long it takes to abort with papaya. You need to use it until you have a miscarriage.
If you have miscarriage, you will have bleeding. It will be more than the menstrual bleeding.

My advice to you is if the pregnancy test is positive,consult doctor and take tablets for miscarriage.

Dr Rama
