Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. I had a miscarriage three months ago. I stayed in the hospital for half a month. Now I want to know how often I need to do a follow-up check after a miscarriage, and how many times I need to go to the hospital for follow-up checks. Do I need to take care of my body regularly? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? What should I avoid?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after a miscarriage, it is recommended to return to the hospital's gynecology department for a postpartum check-up after 42 days. This primarily involves an MRI to assess the extent of uterine recovery and a gynecological examination to check if the cervix has fully returned to its pre-pregnancy state. If planning to conceive again, it is advised that both partners quit smoking and drinking, take 0.4 milligrams of folic acid orally daily, maintain a light diet, and avoid fried and smoked foods. Avoid exposure to X-rays and contact with cats and dogs, and do not frequent overly crowded places to prevent viral infections.
