Patient's question:
I and my boyfriend didn't take any protective measures during our intimate activity a while ago. Recently, it should be my time for my period, but it's been a week late. When I went to check, I found out I was pregnant. So I immediately booked an abortion procedure. Now, I'm in the later stage of a miscarriage. I'd like to ask what I should pay attention to now?Doctor's answer:
First, after a miscarriage, it's important to avoid exposure to cold. Do not bathe in cold water or engage in heavy physical labor. Rest for about ten days during this period. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as extremely cold foods. Pay close attention to the amount of vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding is less than your menstrual flow, it's fine. However, if the bleeding is significantly less than usual, you should go to the hospital. In addition to monitoring the bleeding, be alert to symptoms like abdominal pain and fever. If you experience any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly. If vaginal bleeding persists for more than ten days without stopping, you should also visit the hospital for a check-up. For the first month, sexual activity is strictly prohibited.
