Patient's question:
Six days after a miscarriage, there is heavy bleeding and abdominal pain. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal to have a small amount of bleeding about one week after surgery, which is not a problem. As long as you pay attention to postoperative care measures, it is fine.It is recommended to pay extra attention to hygiene after surgery, changing underwear and pants frequently. Wash the external genital area daily, and frequently change and disinfect sanitary napkins. Women who have not yet stopped bleeding should absolutely avoid vaginal douching or soaking in a bath to prevent upward infections. Sexual activity should be avoided for at least 4 weeks after surgery. If sexual activity resumes, it is important to continue using contraception.
