Patient's question:
How long does a biochemical miscarriage usually take to clean up? It's been 13 days today, and it hasn't been completely cleaned up yet. I started taking Yimucao Granules yesterday, but there's still a little bit of spotting today, and I'm using sanitary pads. Besides these days, my breasts have been a bit sore, but my lower abdomen isn't painful. A week ago, the doctor asked me to go for an ultrasound this Sunday. Besides vaginal bleeding, on the fifth day, I went to the hospital to check my blood hCG, which was 26. Do I need to buy some second-generation cephalosporin now? Is it normal for a biochemical miscarriage to last this long? Can I do moxibustion? I have a history of three miscarriages. Digestive symptoms: I feel that the color has become much redder these past two days. Do you think I should do the color ultrasound tomorrow, Friday, or wait until Sunday?Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing spotting due to a superovulatory pregnancy, and it hasn't stopped yet. There is minimal spotting, and it is recommended that you visit a hospital and use some topical medication. Of course, if the bleeding lasts for a long time, you can also use anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. Since you are still spotting, you cannot have moxibustion. If you go to the hospital for an ultrasound, you can go anytime, including tomorrow. After a biochemical pregnancy, the bleeding duration should be similar to your regular menstrual cycle in terms of both volume and time. It has been 13 days since your bleeding stopped, which may be due to poor uterine contraction. Generally, hCG levels return to normal around 4 weeks, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended that you try taking motherwort to see how it works. Regularly check your blood HCG levels on your own.
