Patient's question:
This year I am 25 years old. After getting married, I didn't use any contraception for more than two years and finally got pregnant. However, at five weeks of pregnancy, I felt a slight pain in my abdomen and noticed a drop of brown discharge from my vagina. An ultrasound examination revealed that the embryo had no germinal vesicle and no fetal heartbeat. Out of desperation, I underwent an abortion without anesthesia at six weeks.Since then, except during my period, I have had yellow discharge every day from my vagina. It doesn’t itch or have a bad odor, but I experience lower back pain and right lower abdominal pain. It has been a full year already. Over the past year, I have sought medical help everywhere, but doctors usually listen to me and say that after an abortion, they don’t need to examine me and just assume it’s inflammation. So I’ve taken a lot of antibiotics, but it hasn’t gotten better.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, it is recommended to wait six months after a miscarriage before considering pregnancy to allow the body to fully recover. This is better for conception and fetal development.During pregnancy, it is important to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Your husband should refrain from alcohol for at least a month, as alcohol is metabolized by the body and the byproducts can negatively affect sperm quality. Starting three months before the expected conception, you should begin taking folic acid, which can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus and anemia in the mother.
