Patient's question:
I have a friend who just told me she had a natural miscarriage at thirty days. What should she do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check and it's already a natural miscarriage, then you can rest in bed for a few days. If the bleeding stops within a week, it's usually not a problem. If the bleeding hasn't stopped after less than ten days, you might consider going to the hospital for an ultrasound to check for any remnants. If the bleeding is due to remnants, you may need to use additional medications to expel the clots and reduce inflammation, or consider a D&C procedure.
