Tanvi

I was pregnant and I wanted to abort. It was less than 45 days so I took the mtpkit on 3rd of March and today is 6 march. The bleeding is light now but there's stomach pain internally around the belly button. The pain is not severe but it's not even ignorant feels like something is cut inside

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

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

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hello dear See the symptoms you have mentioned seems to be due to the medication which usually causes Bleeding which is milder Abdominal pain due to contractions from uterus Mild discomfort However there is need for medical emergency in case of Fever Vomiting Excessive bleeding ( more than 2 pads) Dizziness and lethargy So if you notice above mentioned scenario please consult gynaecologist in person for better clarity Regards

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.
