Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am pregnant and accidentally fell, which resulted in a natural miscarriage. It has been 16 days since then. This morning, I noticed that I had my period, which is inconsistent with my last menstrual cycle. What I want to consult about is whether it is normal to have my period 16 days after a natural miscarriage. Please guide me.Doctor's answer:
Around half a month after a natural miscarriage, if vaginal bleeding reappears, it's advisable to pay close attention and observe carefully. If the bleeding is not heavy, it might be due to ovulation bleeding. In such cases, it's recommended to visit the obstetrics department of a hospital for a check-up. If there is an intrauterine infection or if the miscarriage was not properly managed, it's important to cooperate with the doctor for symptomatic treatment. After a miscarriage, the body is weakened, so bed rest is necessary. During the recovery period, it's beneficial to consume more nourishing soups and foods that help replenish qi and blood to restore the body.
