Patient's question:
My best friend is 25 years old this year and is pregnant with her first child. I don't know what the reason is, but she suddenly had stomach pain the day before yesterday. When I accompanied her to the hospital, the doctor said that the baby didn't survive and naturally miscarried. The doctor advised her to rest more during this period. How does a natural miscarriage completely pass, and how long should an ultrasound be done to confirm it?Doctor's answer:
If it is a natural miscarriage, it is essential to go to the hospital for a thorough ultrasound examination. If there is residual tissue in the uterine cavity, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure should be performed. This is a very common and simple surgical procedure in gynecology. Otherwise, it may lead to bleeding, which can cause anemia.Within one month of a miscarriage, it is crucial to avoid sexual intercourse and to prevent catching colds by staying warm. Maintain a nutritious diet, avoid spicy and foods, exercise moderately, and relax your mind.
