Suggest Treatment For Heavy Vaginal Bleeding Post Abortion

Posted on Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Question: Had medical termination 6 weeks ago. Still bleeding heavy. Prescribed tranexamic acid 3 days ago but still flooding at least once a day through clothes with clots. Have to spend every day near a loo as no warning

Brief Answer:
Ultrasonography and second opinion

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Got the history.

I would advise you to undergo ultrasonography to see what is the problem in the uterus / whether any retained products / fibroid / vesicular mole or so.

Diagnostic curettage / Hysteroscopy / confirmatory CT scan may be needed and to be done after a consultation with your Gynecologist or you can certainly go for a second opinion of another Gynecologist.

It is already 6 weeks.

Brief Answer:
Yes, it is urgent.

Detailed Answer:
Yes, this looks to be an urgent matter as per your history of bleeding heavy and still flooding at least once a day through clothes with clots. Have to spend every day near a loo as no warning..

It is better to rule out some problems.

A and E or referral from GP whichever give earliest access to the Gynecologist and ultrasonography.
