Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. After taking medication for an abortion, why is there still bleeding?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, you need to rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods to help your body recover as soon as possible.Within one month after a miscarriage, sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal douching, and medication should be avoided. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, which may lead to conditions such as endometritis, adnexitis, and other pelvic inflammatory diseases. Severe cases may result in infertility.
The amount of bleeding after a miscarriage should be less than the normal menstrual flow, and the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks. The abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. If the bleeding exceeds these standards, it should be considered as possible intrauterine residue, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection. Active medical examination should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.
