i took 8 cytotec (misoprostol) tablets orally and vaginally for abortion but i was allergic and i didn't bleed. did the allergy caused the failed abortion?

Question

Did the medical abortion work? I took the abortion pill on august 26, started bleeding slightly, took the misoprostol on the 28, and bled extremely heavily for a few hours with clots. It was so bad that i had to stand in the shower so i would not get bloo

Answer 1

Probably not: Cytotec (misoprostol) alone may not cause an abortion. You should talk to the doctor that gave you the prescription.

Answer 2

No: Treating a UTI should not cause vaginal bleeding. Sometimes a UTI can cause some blood in your urine but it is usually not heavy. It is possible the symptoms felt like a UTI but were from some other cause.

Answer 3

Possiby: Some women do have abnormal menses during an infection. However, if you are still bleeding, you should follow up with your md to make sure something else is not going on.

Answer 4

Long term affliction: The 3 primary approaches to allergy are: avoid -find out what & avoid, supress:use allergy med to reduce sx & retrain: use allergy shots to retrain your system not to react to offending agents. Allergy testing can give you an idea about your triggers & an allergist can advise you on allergy shots. Many otc allergy meds are available. If you smoke or have other irritant exposures they must also be.

Answer 5

Agree with Dr. F: If allergy medications are not sufficient to control your symptoms, consider getting desensitization injections. It will take weekly injection for months, if not years. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Answer 6

Inflammation: Is the cause of swimmers ear. The skin gets wet and boggy and inflamed and it could bleed from that or if he picks it at all it could bleed. If he had a middle ear infection as well and the eardrum perforated it could bleed. None of these are terrible problems. If you are concerned it is always a good idea to have it checked out.

Answer 7

Looks worse : Initially, injuries to the nose may swell and bruise. Most physicians recommend waiting approx 7 days and reevaluating. If the nose still looks swollen or crooked then you should see an ent. If it looks much better then you are safe to observe.

Answer 8

Possible broken nose: It is possible that your daughter has a broken nose. Typically the nose will bleed after an injury resulting in a nasal fracture, but not always. She should be seen by an ENT or facial plastic surgeon. I usually discourage imaging studies (ct or x-ray) as they don't contribute much to the management in cases of isolated nasal injuries. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D.

Answer 9

Have it checked: Ice it for now, 10 min every hour if she will let you. If the nose is broken it is best to fix within 7 days or so. Bleeding doesn't necessarily mean it is broken but it it could be.

Answer 10

Broken nose: Have your daughter's nose evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer 11

Avoid fruit: But you can eat meat, fish, fowl, starches, grains, dairy, eggs, all cooked vegetables, some raw vegetables, oils, spices. You'll want to avoid most fruit.
