Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I had an unsatisfactory miscarriage. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor prescribed three types of medication for me, which I am expected to take for about twenty days. The doctor said that after finishing all the medication, I would have my menstrual period after about a week. I would like to ask if taking Motherwort (Yìmǔcǎo) during the menstrual period would be more effective! Also, how long should I wait before going back for a follow-up check to see if it is completely cleared? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, and do not consume alcohol. Focus on increasing nutrition by primarily eating light and nutrient-rich foods such as chicken, lean pork, eggs, dairy products, and (beans) and (bean products), which are rich in protein, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins. After a miscarriage, it is important to keep warm, enhance dietary intake, and get adequate rest. Avoid taking baths and refrain from sexual activity for one month. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound after one month to check the recovery of the uterus.
