Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe bleeding (soaking more than two maxi pads per hour for two consecutive hours), high fever (over 100.4°F or 38°C), persistent severe abdominal pain, or signs of infection (foul-smelling vaginal discharge, severe abdominal tenderness).
Contact your healthcare provider within 24-48 hours after using misoprostol for a follow-up appointment. This check-up will confirm the completion of the process and address any concerns you may have. Your provider might perform a physical exam or an ultrasound to ensure everything is progressing normally.
During this follow-up, you’ll discuss potential side effects such as cramping, bleeding, and nausea. They will provide guidance on managing these symptoms and answer any questions you may have regarding medication, pain relief, or rest.
Remember: Follow your provider’s post-procedure instructions carefully. This includes information about rest, hygiene, and recognizing potential complications. Early detection of any issues significantly improves the outcome.
