Patient's question:
I had a natural miscarriage at 40 days of pregnancy. It was like a normal menstrual period, without any discomfort symptoms such as stomach pain. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was confirmed that the miscarriage was complete. No D&C was needed, and no medication was required. However, the doctor said that it would be best to wait six months before trying to conceive again. I searched for information online and found that as long as the menstrual cycle returns to normal, both partners should undergo a comprehensive pre-pregnancy checkup, and it would take 2-3 months to prepare for pregnancy. Now, I really want to have a child. Can you help me?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, the endometrium is damaged to a certain extent, especially the reproductive organs such as the uterus and ovaries, which require a thorough recovery process. After a miscarriage, early pregnancy, and endocrine function do not fully recover, leading to poor endometrial growth, unstable endometrial implantation, and malnutrition. In addition to increasing the risk of miscarriage, it is also beneficial for maternal and child health. Therefore, it is not advisable to rush to conceive after a miscarriage. Six months to a year later, before preparing to conceive, it is best to undergo a comprehensive and thorough examination at the hospital to ensure physical health during pregnancy.
