What is the reason for vaginal pain after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Previously, because it was my first pregnancy, the fetus was not very stable, and I also did not pay much attention, which led to a miscarriage. When I was discharged from the hospital, I felt a constant pain in my lower abdomen, so I wanted to ask the doctor what causes vaginal pain after a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage, experiencing abdominal pain and vaginal pain again within 3-7 days is also normal. This is because the stress during the miscarriage, combined with the stimulation from miscarriage instruments and procedures like cervical dilation, can cause discomfort to recur in the short term. If the pain is not severe and there are no symptoms of vaginal bleeding, there is no need to worry too much. You can clean the external genital area daily with a gynecological cleansing solution or warm water.
