HI,

Pregnancy cause hormonal imbalance and Misoprostol cause uterine contraction. Progesterone cause increased blood flow to nose and again increase in uterine pressure aggravate nasal bleeding. Vomiting is most commonly by side effect of abortion pill.It will goes off in next 3 to 5 days.

Bleeding after pill will depend on age of pregnancy. I would suggest to consult gynecologist for examination and USG scan to confirm status of abortion. If it was incomplete abortion then should be treated by extra dose or by D & C.

Take proper rest, maintain proper hygiene, take Meftal saps for pain.

- For nose bleed: sit down, pinch your nose just above nostrils for 15 to 20 minutes. Relive after 15 minutes and again after 5 minutes pinch it again till the bleeding stops.

- Take breath through mouth. Do not blow through nose.

- Apply cold pack on your nose: it constricts your nose blood vessels. Do not lie down flat and avoid strenuous exercise like weight lifting.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
