How long after a natural miscarriage can one take a bath and wash their hair?

Patient's question:

1st January morning shower, just finished work at noon and found the perineum was chafed, after the ultrasound the doctor prescribed pregnancy preservation medication, please ask how long after a natural miscarriage can I take a shower and wash my hair

Doctor's answer:

One week after a miscarriage, you can wash your hair and take a bath, preferably a shower. Pay attention to nutrition after a miscarriage, eat more high-protein foods, and consume more fruits and vegetables. Pay attention to hygiene. During vaginal bleeding, it is strictly forbidden to take a bath. Avoid sexual activity for half a month. After fully resuming sexual activity, pay attention to breastfeeding. You can walk appropriately. If heavy bleeding or an odor occurs again during the miscarriage, seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. If you plan to conceive again, it is best to wait for one year to one year and a half after the miscarriage. Gynecological conditions can be very serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. We hope patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
