Patient's question:
I would like to ask about whether it is okay to use a basin to rinse the external genitalia after a miscarriage. I had an abortion about half a month ago, and now it's basically not bleeding anymore. However, I have never rinsed my external genitalia before. I would like to consult if rinsing the external genitalia now could cause harm to the uterus?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, it is necessary to use warm water to clean the external genitalia daily or take a shower. Not cleaning the external genitalia for such a long time may actually lead to downward infections. Of course, you can use a basin to clean the external genitalia now, but avoid cleaning the vagina and do not take a bath. It has been half a month since the surgery, and you still need to focus on rest and enhance nutrition. Your period will come around a month later, and you can return to normal life after your period.
