Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a miscarriage, you should pay attention to the following aspects:1. Rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then gradually increase your activity time while getting up. Avoid physical labor and sports for about half a month.
2. In terms of diet, avoid cold, spicy, and raw foods, and do not drink alcohol. Focus on light, nutritious foods rich in protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables high in vitamins.
3. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month to avoid infection. Once sexual activity resumes, use contraception to prevent pregnancy again. Wait at least six months before trying to conceive.
4. Pay attention to hygiene for the lower body to prevent gynecological infections. Shower instead of bathing. If inflammation occurs, take oral medication such as metronidazole, levofloxacin, or amoxicillin. For abdominal pain, take antibiotics and motherwort.
5. For health care, keep warm and avoid spicy foods. Avoid soaking in a bath for 7 days to prevent infection.
6. In the first 2 to 3 days after a miscarriage, vaginal bleeding is usually equivalent to or slightly more than a menstrual period, but it should not exceed 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, is heavier than usual, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to have a B check-up at the hospital.
