How long should one rest after a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure?

Patient's question:

My wife had a minor miscarriage surgery yesterday and is now recovering in the hospital. How long does a D&C procedure require for rest?

Doctor's answer:

The rest period after a miscarriage through Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is generally around one month. You can carefully observe your body's condition, actively implement anti-inflammatory measures, rest well, avoid catching a cold, and do not resume sexual activity too soon. Avoid contact with cold water to prevent postpartum illnesses. This will help your body recover completely. At the same time, it is important to eat plenty of foods that boost qi, which is beneficial for nourishing your body and aiding in recovery to normal.
