Patient's question:
Pregnant at 38 weeks had a natural miscarriage. Saw a doctor this morning and by afternoon it had already miscarried. Haven't drunk anything, didn't do an ultrasound, and couldn't see the embryo. Need to stay in bed, can I go out? What to eat to recover quickly? How many days does it take for the bleeding to stop completely after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage usually involves bleeding for 3-10 days. Motherwort can be used to promote uterine contraction after miscarriage, requiring healthy and careful observation. There is no need to eat spicy foods. If the bleeding lasts for less than half a month and does not stop, it is necessary to have a thorough examination to rule out incomplete miscarriage or infection. After miscarriage, attention should be paid to recovery and nutrition, consuming high-protein foods. It is recommended to avoid early sexual stimulation. At least two days of rest are required after miscarriage, and attention should be paid to frequent bowel movements, consuming high-protein, easily digestible foods; avoid stimulating foods such as chili peppers, ginger, raw garlic, strong tea, and coffee; and avoid hot foods.
