Is It Safe To Use Misoprostol For Incomplete Abortion?
Dear Sir, My wife had an unwanted pregnancy. The LMP Date was 21st Jan 2015. We visited a doctor for abortion. She gave Mefigest Kit on Mar 7th, 2015. (45 Days). After 8 days we went for scanning. They found an incomplete abortion. We visited the doctor again. She has again prescribed Misopristol for two days. What to do ? Please help...
I share your concerns as your wife has to under go this. Misoprostol is a correct approach for incomplete abortion. It dilates the uterus opening and stimulates uterus to expel out its contents. So it will complete the abortion process.
However at times this approach fails. In that case your wife will have to under go a simple procedure called dilatation and curettage (D&C). In this procedure uterus opening is dilated in operation theatre and contents are removed by doctor with the help of instruments. It is done in sedation. She will not have any pain and it is a complete process.
I hope my reply will help you. Please write to HCM or me for any follow up queries or any other queries. Hit a thanks. I wish good health to your wife and whole family. Regards
