Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Your history says you have taken tab. Misoprostol, which is an early abortion medication. Following which heavy prolonged bleeding can occur for 2weeks.

I advice you to do a USG pelvis to rule out retained products if any. Also consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
