Patient's question:
A doctor had a miscarriage in 2016; she was young and didn't understand much. She saw some bleeding and underwent a D&C procedure. Then she rested for two years without daring to get pregnant again. This year, she got pregnant with a baby, but the hCG levels did not double, and around 60 days, it was estimated that the pregnancy stopped. They then took the embryo for chromosome testing. Now she is in the postpartum period and wants to know how to effectively and completely restore her body. Then, I am 23 years old and my husband is 24 years old. When would be the best time to get pregnant next? Thank you to all the doctors for your guidance.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to strictly prohibiting sexual activity, sitz baths, and vaginal douching or medication before menstruation returns after a miscarriage. This is because at this time, the cervix is loose, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is elevated, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, which may lead to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.It is recommended to avoid exposure to cold after a miscarriage, rest for two weeks, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutrient-rich foods.
