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 has already been a natural miscarriage, then you can rest in bed for a few days. If the bleeding stops within a week, it is usually not a problem. If the bleeding has not stopped after less than ten days, you may consider going to the hospital for an ultrasound to check for any remnants. If the bleeding is caused by remnants, you will need to coordinate with additional medications for draining and anti-inflammatory purposes, or consider a D&C procedure.
