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 managed to get 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, apart from my menstrual period, I have had yellow discharge from my vagina every day. It doesn't itch, has no odor, but I experience lower back pain and right lower abdominal pain. It has been a full year already. During this year, I sought medical help everywhere, but doctors generally listened to me and said that since I had an abortion, they didn't need to examine me, just assuming it was inflammation. So I took a lot of antibiotics, but it didn't get 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.
