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

A light level of bleeding and some degree of stomach pain can be normal after taking an MTP kit due to the body’s response to the medication and the process of the uterus expelling its contents. The medications in the MTP kit, often a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, can cause uterine cramping, which might explain the internal stomach pain you’re feeling. This process can continue for several days as your body adjusts. However, it’s important to monitor your symptoms closely. If the pain becomes severe, if you experience heavy bleeding (soaking through two or more pads in an hour for two consecutive hours), or if you develop a fever, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly, as these could be signs of possible complications like infection or incomplete abortion. Also, if you notice any foul-smelling discharge, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider. For now, you might find relief by using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, which can help manage cramping pain—always checking the proper dosage for you and any previous medical conditions or allergies. Rest and staying hydrated can also contribute positively to your recovery. However, it’s advisable to schedule a follow-up with your healthcare provider to ensure that the abortion process is complete, and no tissue remains inside, which could lead to complications. This follow-up is essential to confirm that the pregnancy has been properly terminated and to discuss any additional concerns you may have.
