How long after a miscarriage can you take a shower

Patient's question:

I had my first abortion, and I'm wondering how many days of rest are required at least. How long after the procedure can I take a shower or wash my hair? Is it really necessary to tell the elderly that I shouldn't touch water for a month? Are there any other special precautions I should take? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after a miscarriage, it's like a woman recovering from childbirth—there are many things to avoid. It's best to wait at least a week before washing your hair or taking a bath, as this is also taking responsibility for your own body. After a miscarriage, you should pay attention to the following:
1. Strengthen your nutrition by eating blood-boosting and high-protein foods. I recommend eating more jujubes and brown sugar, as well as eggs, fish, lean meat, and soy products. Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be consumed.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vaginal area clean. Wash and change underwear frequently. Avoid tub baths for the first two weeks, and refrain from sexual activity for the first month.
