Is it really bad luck to go to someone else's house after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

It is also a custom prevalent in our village that... a miscarriage cannot go to someone else's house. You asked, does going to someone else's house after a miscarriage really bring bad luck?

Doctor's answer:

This is a conservative view from the feudal society, where it might be believed that after a miscarriage, one may always feel a sense of bad luck, or that a miscarriage is related to the near-death of the fetus, which is considered inauspicious. Therefore, when visiting others, there might be a psychological resistance if the others are aware of the situation. In reality, there is no scientific basis for this. After a miscarriage, there is no need to go here and there; it is better to rest at home and take care of your health. The above can be used as a reference.
