Patient's question:
Three days after my miscarriage in the afternoon, it didn't break open. Around 4-5 days, two large pieces of stringy tissue came out, and then there was no more stringy tissue, just yellow fluid. Now it's the 12th day, and the discharge is translucent, just like before. Is this normal? Is it because of good health that I've recovered quickly, or is there something else going on? Since the miscarriage, I haven't felt any abnormal symptoms. What kind of help do I need: Is it normal for bleeding to stop within two days after a miscarriage? Is it normal for stringy tissue to stop flowing around 4-5 days? Is it normal for the discharge to be like that of a normal person after 12 days?Doctor's answer:
In your case, the symptoms are generally normal. Usually, bleeding for 7 to 10 days after a miscarriage falls within the normal range. If the bleeding stops within two days of the miscarriage, it indicates that your uterus has a good healing ability, so the bleeding stops quickly, leaving a few blood streaks, which is also normal. By the 12th day, your uterus is almost fully recovered.Recommendation: It is advisable to have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital to check if there are any remaining remnants in the uterus. If none are found, it means your uterus has recovered well. Then, you can also test your urine HCG to see if it has turned negative. Generally, it takes about half a month for the HCG to become negative.
