How long after a miscarriage can you wash your hair?

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old, and it has been 5 days since my miscarriage. Besides the occasional spotting, I have had two abdominal ultrasounds at the hospital. There are pictures downstairs, but I will definitely not look at them. I was given five different medications. How long will it take to recover? What precautions should I take?

Doctor's answer:

After surgery, there may be a small amount of bleeding, usually not exceeding 10 days, and there is no excessive menstrual flow. In such cases, it is best to wait and see. Rest well, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as lean meat, milk, eggs, chicken, and fish. Do not have sexual intercourse for a month, and avoid taking baths. After your next menstrual period, go to the hospital for a follow-up check to assess your recovery.
