How to tell if a natural miscarriage is complete?

Patient's question:

My wife is recently pregnant, but we are not particularly ready for a child right now, so we decided to have a natural miscarriage. We went to the hospital to have a natural miscarriage, and now it has been a week. I want to know if the natural miscarriage is already complete?

Doctor's answer:

Natural miscarriage bleeding will gradually increase, and the bleeding duration is usually no more than 7 days. If the bleeding intensifies or the duration shortens, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage. You can visit the hospital two weeks after the miscarriage for an ultrasound examination to check if it has been completely cleared. If there is any residual tissue, a D&C procedure may be necessary. Rest more after the miscarriage, avoid spicy and cold foods, and maintain external genital hygiene. Strictly avoid sexual activity and for one month. Wishing you good health!
