Patient's question:
Hello, I had an abortion without anesthesia a week ago, and I'm experiencing weakness in my limbs. Also, the discharge is very little and a bit dark. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, you should rest for at least two weeks.1. In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, alcohol, and increase nutrition. Focus on light, nutrient-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and protein-rich foods like soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. Do not have sexual intercourse for one month. It is easy to get infected. After that, take contraceptive measures to avoid suffering again. Pregnancy should wait for at least six months.
3. Pay attention to cleanliness of the lower body to prevent gynecological infections. You can take a shower. If there is inflammation, you can take oral metronidazole or levofloxacin, cephalexin, etc. If you have abdominal pain, you can take antibiotics and motherwort.
4. In terms of health care, keep warm appropriately. Do not eat spicy foods. Avoid soaking in a bath for 7 days, as it is easy to get infected.
5. Vaginal bleeding usually lasts for 7–10 days, with a maximum of 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, the amount of bleeding is greater than your usual menstrual flow, or accompanied by severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.
