Patient's question:
Doctor, I had a miscarriage and need to make up for work, but I don't want my colleagues to know I had a miscarriage. I was wondering if a miscarriage is like having a menstrual period, where I don't need to rest for so long. Will a miscarriage cause significant harm or aftereffects to my body?Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage is different from menstruation. Miscarriage can also have certain adverse effects on physical health. After a miscarriage, it is necessary to rest for 15 to 20 days for the body to fully recover to normal conditions. Going to work too early may lead to potential late-term sequelae, such as mild lower abdominal pain and limb soreness. In addition to possible menstrual irregularities and other symptoms, it is important to pay close attention to rest while also taking routine anti-inflammatory and conditioning measures, and follow-up check-ups should be scheduled regularly.
