During a natural miscarriage, the timing of the placenta's expulsion is not fixed.

After the fetus is expelled, it may be minutes or hours before the placenta is expelled.

Is it easy to get pregnant after a natural miscarriage?

When a natural miscarriage occurs, it is generally not easy to conceive. There are many reasons for natural miscarriage, one common cause is the insufficiency of corpus luteum function in women, leading to low levels of pregnancy hormones in the body, which can easily result in spontaneous miscarriage. Additionally, whether a woman has some gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, endometrial displacement, septate uterus, bicornuate uterus, unicornuate uterus, and other uterine issues, can also affect pregnancy and lead to natural miscarriage. Moreover, if the fertilized egg has chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy, it can also cause a natural miscarriage. Therefore, when women prepare for the next pregnancy, they need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. After identifying and actively correcting some factors affecting pregnancy, they can then try to conceive again.

How many days does the lochia last after a natural miscarriage?

Natural miscarriage generally cleans up the lochia in about a week. This is because natural miscarriage refers to the process where the embryo flows out from the uterine cavity on its own. Most people can completely clear out after a natural miscarriage, so the amount of bleeding is generally not very much, and the bleeding duration is not very long. If it is not clean after a week, it is necessary to consider whether it has not been completely cleared, and it is best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to see if there are any issues with the uterus. Additionally, it is essential to rest and reduce activities after a natural miscarriage.

How long does it take for the lochia to clear after a natural miscarriage?

Generally, lochia can be cleared within a week after a natural miscarriage occurs. The duration of lochia discharge during a natural miscarriage is also related to the length of pregnancy. If the miscarriage occurs during a later stage of pregnancy, there may be a longer period of vaginal bleeding because the endometrium is thicker, potentially requiring about ten days. Typically, it will clear within a week, and it should not last more than ten days at most. It is advised for women to undergo a medical examination at a hospital two weeks after a natural miscarriage, at which time the recovery of the uterus and any remaining tissues can be assessed. After such a miscarriage, it is important to rest, enhance nutrition, and abstain from intercourse for a month.

How many days of rest are needed for a natural miscarriage?

After a natural miscarriage, women also need to go through a confinement period, although it is shorter than the confinement period after a normal delivery. Therefore, it is essential to rest for at least a week after a miscarriage. If possible and conditions allow, it is best to rest for two weeks. Following a miscarriage, women's immune systems are generally weaker, and their bodies more frail. At this time, it is important to establish healthy lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, ensuring adequate sleep, and avoiding heavy physical labor. Opt for light, easily digestible, and absorbable foods, with balanced nutrition including both meat and vegetables. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as foods like lean meat, eggs, and dairy, can help enhance the body's immune system and promote recovery.
