Summary

This study tested whether taking misoprostol under the tongue two hours before surgery for uterine niche (a scar complication after C-section) helps reduce postmenstrual spotting. Fifty-six women with prior C-section and abnormal bleeding were randomly assigned to receive misoprostol or a placebo. The goal was to see if the drug makes the surgery safer and more effective.
