Patient's question:
Once pregnant, I miscarried because of a health issue.Doctor's answer:
Within 2 weeks after surgery, rest appropriately with bed rest and avoid heavy physical labor. Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover as soon as possible. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, wash with warm water 1~2 times a day, and change sanitary pads frequently. Avoid sitting baths within 2 weeks or until vaginal bleeding stops. Abstain from sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infections of the reproductive organs. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odors in vaginal discharge, seek medical attention promptly. Generally, vaginal bleeding gradually stops within 3~5 days, but it should not exceed 10~15 days. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds menstrual flow or the duration is prolonged, seek medical treatment promptly. You can consume fresh fish, young chicken, eggs, animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, soy products, dairy products, jujubes, lotus seeds, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Avoid or limit greasy, cold, raw foods, and foods with properties that regulate qi, promote blood circulation, or are cooling in nature, such as radishes, hawthorns, bitter melons, and oranges. Focus on easily digestible foods. The ideal duration for recuperation is about half a month. Those who are physically weak, have poor constitutions, or have experienced significant blood loss may extend the recuperation period as needed.
