Can you wash your hair a few days after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I naturally miscarried two days ago and had a D&C procedure at the hospital. I would like to know how soon after the miscarriage it is safe to wash my hair?

Doctor's answer:

You had a natural miscarriage and a D&C surgery two days ago. As of today, you can wash your hair and take a bath. You should pay attention to rest, enhance your nutrition, and maintain hygiene at all times. If you experience excessive menstrual bleeding or abdominal pain, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. Since you have just undergone a D&C surgery, it is recommended that you take a few more doses of antibiotics in these days to prevent inflammation and infection, regulate your physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
