Hello

After taking an MTP Kit for early abortion, mild–moderate abdominal pain and bleeding for a few days is common. The pain you feel around the belly button is usually due to uterine contractions while the uterus clears the pregnancy tissue.

What to do:

• Mild pain and light bleeding on day 3–4 is usually normal. • You can take paracetamol for pain and rest. • Drink fluids and avoid heavy work.

Seek medical help urgently if:

• Severe or worsening pain • Heavy bleeding (soaking >2 pads/hour) • Fever, foul-smelling discharge, dizziness

It is important to do a pregnancy test or ultrasound after 2 weeks to confirm the abortion is complete.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

The abdominal pain you’re experiencing around the belly button after taking the MTP kit might be due to uterine contractions as the body expels the tissue, a common effect after a medical abortion. Light bleeding and cramping are typical during this process and can persist for several days. Nonetheless, keep an eye on the intensity and nature of the pain. If it escalates, becomes sharp, or is accompanied by fever, foul-smelling discharge, significant bleeding (such as soaking two or more pads in an hour), or if you’re feeling light-headed or dizzy, these could be warning signs of an infection or incomplete abortion that require immediate medical evaluation. To manage the current discomfort, over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help reduce the pain, but ensure to follow the correct dosage instructions. Ensuring adequate rest, maintaining hydration, and using a hot water bottle on the abdomen can offer additional relief. It’s significantly beneficial to have a follow-up with a healthcare provider within two weeks post-abortion to confirm that the abortion was complete without complications. This appointment typically involves an ultrasound or a blood test to ensure that hormone levels have returned to baseline. If these symptoms persist or if new symptoms arise, it’s crucial to contact your healthcare provider promptly to rule out complications and to ensure your safety and well-being.
