Patient's question:
Hello, I've had a painless abortion a month ago, but my period hasn't come yet. What's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
One month. After a miscarriage, it is necessary to rest for at least two weeks.1. In terms of diet, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, and do not drink alcohol. Increase nutrition, focusing on light and nutrient-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and protein-rich food products like soy 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 six months have passed.
3. In terms of hygiene, pay attention to keeping the lower body clean to prevent gynecological infections. Showering is recommended. If inflammation occurs, oral medication such as metronidazole, levofloxacin, or amoxicillin can be taken. If abdominal pain occurs, antibiotics and motherwort herbal tea can be consumed.
4. In terms of health care, maintain appropriate warmth. Avoid spicy foods. Avoid soaking in a bath for seven days to prevent infection.
5. Vaginal bleeding typically lasts for 7–10 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If bleeding lasts for an extended period, the amount of bleeding exceeds the usual menstrual flow, or if there is significant abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination.
