Detailed Answer:
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. Your trust in HCM means a lot to me as a Physician.
I have completely reviewed your health query, and can well realize all those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will give extend my expertise to solve the problems.
It is a typical case of retained products of conception that you are passing out time and again. Yes this is normal in the sense that you didn't get fever and there is no pain. It was definitely problematic if you had fever and pain.
Actually when we go for a surgical abortion, we have to keep a very gentle and less scratching of the uterine wall from inside to remove the fetus. It is to avoid rupture of the uterus that may lead to hemorrhage and major complication like infection of the peritoneal cavity of abdomen. So in doing that much gentle, many times there remains some products of the fetal or maternal tissues of conception behind in the uterus.
To remove those tissues via uterine contractions your Physician prescribed you with Misoprostol. Now the medicine is working fine and you will soon be free of the debris/retained products.
Precaution:-
If you feel fever and pains or there is heavy bleeding, consult your OBGYN right away for proper evaluation and management.
