Patient's question:
I was already three months pregnant, but for some reason, I now had a miscarriage without any symptoms. The doctor said that if I take good care of myself now, it won't affect future pregnancies. How should I take care of myself after a miscarriage at three months? Should I also have a postpartum recovery period after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage also requires a postpartum rest period. After a miscarriage, it is essential to pay special attention to rest, and at least one month should pass before returning to work. Avoid sexual activity within the first month after a miscarriage, and do not take baths or sitz baths to prevent intrauterine infection. Once sexual activity is resumed, effective contraception measures should be taken. Pregnancy is not recommended until at least one year has passed. After a miscarriage, it is important to consume foods rich in protein, such as lean meat, eggs, and fish, along with fresh vegetables and fruits, to help the body recover quickly.
