Patient's question:
After my wife had a miscarriage, there has been some black discharge coming from her vagina for several days. I thought it would improve within a few days, but it has been half a month and it's still ongoing. Although the amount is not much, it's really disgusting. My friend said it might be lochia. Do women also have lochia after miscarriage? Is it the same as postpartum women?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition. Pay attention to rest. Avoid heavy physical labor and cold-water work within half a month after, to prevent catching a cold. Pay attention to enhancing nutrition to reduce the body's resistance to diseases and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After an abortion, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, to slow down the body's recovery.2. Always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and engage in masturbation. After an abortion, the cervix has not yet fully healed, and the endometrium also has a healing process.
