Women diagnosed with incomplete abortion in this health facility will be randomized to receive one of the following regimens: 400 mcg sublingual misoprostol in one dose or standard surgical treatment (MVA). The investigators hypothesize that treatment of incomplete abortion with misoprostol using 400 mcg administered sublingually will be as effective as surgical evacuation.
