Patient's question:
Bleeding has not returned to normal yet, with heavy menstruation. Mainly it's lower back pain, and a slight itch in the private area. I wonder if there are any taboos after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Natural miscarriage is due to natural selection, where the fertilized egg is inherently poorly developed. For miscarriages that occur within a shorter duration, they can generally be resolved by treating them as menstruation, without the need for a D&C procedure. For miscarriages at a later stage, the situation should be assessed to determine whether a D&C is necessary.After a miscarriage, the postpartum taboos may vary depending on the timing of the miscarriage. For miscarriages that occur around 40-50 days, it is generally recommended to avoid contact with cold objects for one week after the bleeding stops. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. For miscarriages that require a D&C, the postpartum recovery should follow the standard taboos, including avoiding cold foods and water for the first month and refraining from sexual activity.
There are many treatment methods available in obstetrics and gynecology, but the specific approach depends on the patient's condition. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon experiencing symptoms.
