Patient's question:
It's been about fifty days since the abortion, and I have lower back pain whenever I move. There's slight bleeding after intercourse.Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, you should rest for at least 2 weeks.1. In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, and do not drink alcohol. Increase your nutrition by focusing on light, nutrient-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and protein-rich foods like beans and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
2. In terms of sexual activity, do not have intercourse for one month to avoid infection. Afterward, take contraceptive measures to prevent suffering again. Pregnancy should not occur until at least 6 months have passed.
3. In terms of hygiene, pay attention to keeping the lower body clean to prevent gynecological infections. You can take a shower. If inflammation occurs, you may take oral medication such as metronidazole, levofloxacin, or amoxicillin. If you experience abdominal pain, you may take antibiotics and motherwort herbal tea.
4. In terms of health care, keep warm appropriately. Avoid spicy foods. Avoid soaking in a bath for 7 days to prevent infection.
5. Vaginal bleeding usually lasts for 7–10 days, with a maximum of 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, the amount of bleeding exceeds your usual menstrual flow, or you experience severe abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to seek medical attention.
