What Does Excessive Bleeding After Taking MTP Pill Indicate?
Question: Hi, my wife took MTP pill on 21/03/2015. Since then she has continuous bleeding and severe stomach pain.We did sonography test yesterday. which said "Endometrium thickness 13mm. Irregular outline. A hyperechoic area seen within endometrium measuring 12 * 6 mm. No vascularity seen in it. RPOC seen".Doctor has suggested to take Pause-MF pills twice a day for 4 more days and has asked us to undergo a surgical procedure to remove the residual particles if the bleeding doesn't stop by next tuesday (31/02/2015). Please suggest us.
Brief Answer:
You are undergoing correct treatment
Detailed Answer:
hi XXXXXXX
I can understand your concerns.
The reason for the ultrasound findings are actually retained products of conception.
I will advise you to follow the medicines as prescribed by your doctor as they will help you clear the products. Yes, a surgical evacuation might be needed if the medicines fail.
you are undergoing correct treatment.

Brief Answer:
No side effects generally
Detailed Answer:
medicines like methergine and misoprostol help but cannot guarantee complete evacuation.
no part of body needs to be cut.
if done gently it does not affect future pregnancy
2 days of home rest after surgery is sufficient.
but she should not get pregnant for 6 months.
no side effects mostly
