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 every day from my vagina. It doesn’t itch or have a bad odor, but I experience lower back pain and lower right abdominal pain. It has been a full year already. Over the past year, I have sought medical help everywhere, but doctors generally listen to my story, skip tests, and just say it’s an infection. As a result, I’ve taken a lot of antibiotics, but it hasn’t improved.
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 of this process can negatively affect sperm quality. Starting three months before you are confirmed pregnant, you should begin taking folic acid, which can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus and anemia in the mother.
