Patient's question:
I am a 64-year-old woman and have noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. I would like to know what precautions should be taken after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
1. Pay attention to hygiene: After an induced abortion, it is important to maintain hygiene in the vaginal area. For example, you should wash the external genitalia daily, but be careful not to let dirty water flow into the vagina. Bathing in a tub is strictly prohibited until the bleeding has stopped.2. Moderate activity: During the rest period, you should engage in appropriate exercise to help expel blood accumulated in the uterus. Avoid lying in bed all day.
3. Rest properly: Many people say that a miscarriage is similar to a small postpartum period, so it is generally recommended to rest for half a month or a month after a miscarriage. Due to the new physical trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding, there is an increased risk of retrograde infection.
4. Pay attention to sexual activity: After the surgery, it is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse for one month. Afterward, you should take precautions to avoid multiple pregnancies during sexual activity to prevent complications.
