What Causes Nausea And Bad Vaginal Odour Post Misoprostol Insertion?
Hello,
I had misoprostol inserted vaginally 6 days ago, I am still bleeding lightly, the blood is red/pinkish and appears mainly wiping after visiting the bathroom. I am concerned as the discharge has an unpleasant odor and I do feel nauseas. I Don't have any abdominal pain or a fever. Is the scented discharge a reason for concern?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
I assume that you had taken Mifepristone 200 mg before inserting Misoprostol vaginally.
Misoprostol 400 mcg inserted vaginally should start acting & abortion taken place within 4 hours. If it does not, another 400 mcg pill should be inserted/taken orally.
* I feel You had ineffective dose of Misoprostol , The products are still in,with probably infection - this makes the vaginal discharge unpleasant/along with nausea.
I would advise you consultation of your gynecologist the earliest-for completing the abortion process - which can be with medical induction of uterine contractions or surgical evacuation of uterus- Thanks.
