Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage, it is generally necessary to rest for about half a month, similar to how postpartum women need to rest. Miscarriage requires proper rest, otherwise it may leave behind lingering health issues. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and foods, as well as cold foods. Pay attention to digesting nutritious foods and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the perineal area to prevent gynecological infections. During treatment, it is also important to rest in bed.
