If a woman experiences a natural miscarriage, it can have adverse effects on her body. If attention is not paid to local cleanliness and hygiene during uterine bleeding, and the body's resistance is lowered, it can easily lead to some gynecological infections. If the inflammation is not treated in time, it can affect future normal pregnancies. Furthermore, if care is not enhanced after surgery, and rest is not adequately observed, it will impact the uterus's normal contraction and recovery, leading to continuous vaginal bleeding, which can also affect future pregnancies. Additionally, it can also have some adverse psychological effects on the pregnant woman.

What to pay attention to during a natural miscarriage?

During the period of miscarriage, it is important to ensure adequate sleep to help the body recover. Additionally, it is crucial to stay warm, avoid cold exposure, and refrain from consuming raw, cold, or spicy foods. Opt for light, easily digestible foods instead, and consider drinking some brown sugar or millet porridge. It is also essential to maintain a good emotional state to facilitate physical recovery. Since women may feel particularly low after a miscarriage, family support and psychological care are important during this time. Moreover, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the genital area is necessary; frequent changing of underwear and sanitary pads is advised. A week after the miscarriage, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination.

Does natural miscarriage have anything to do with sperm?

The occurrence of natural miscarriage is somewhat related to the quality of the male's sperm. When the vitality of the sperm and the rate of sperm abnormalities are both decreased, it tends to lead to miscarriage. The combination of sperm and egg requires both to be healthy to conceive a healthy baby. If the quality of the sperm is poor, it might lead to miscarriage even if a fertilized egg is formed. Therefore, before pregnancy, both men and women should go to the hospital for pre-pregnancy check-ups to see if their bodies are suitable for pregnancy. If the sperm quality is poor, it should be regulated, and pregnancy should only be attempted after the sperm quality has been improved.

What are the symptoms of a natural miscarriage?

During a natural miscarriage, the most typical clinical symptoms include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Based on the different symptoms of a natural miscarriage, women should undergo differential diagnosis. When a woman experiences abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it may initially suggest a threatened miscarriage. If the abdominal pain worsens and vaginal bleeding increases, it could progress to an inevitable miscarriage. An inevitable miscarriage can further be classified into complete or incomplete miscarriage. In the case of a complete miscarriage, the abdominal pain generally subsides gradually, and the vaginal bleeding eventually stops. In contrast, during an incomplete miscarriage, the vaginal bleeding lasts longer, and the abdominal pain is prolonged. At this point, it is necessary to visit a hospital for an examination to check if there are any remnants in the uterine cavity and to receive further treatment.

How long does it take for a miscarriage to expel the gestational sac?

Under normal circumstances, in the case of a natural miscarriage, the gestational sac is usually expelled within one week, and the decidua tissue is also expelled within one week. If there is still bleeding more than one week after a natural miscarriage, it is imperative to visit a hospital for related examinations, typically requiring an ultrasound to observe the miscarriage situation. If the miscarriage is complete, then there are generally no major issues. However, if the miscarriage is incomplete, a dilation and curettage procedure may be necessary. It is possible for an incomplete miscarriage to occur naturally. Therefore, if there is still bleeding after one week, further examinations are necessary. In cases of natural miscarriage, it is usually advised to wait at least six months before trying to conceive again, and relevant examinations must be conducted before attempting again to determine the causes of the natural miscarriage and to treat accordingly.

Can you smoke after a natural miscarriage?

After a natural miscarriage, it is best for women not to smoke, as smoking is an unhealthy lifestyle habit that can reduce a woman's body resistance. After a miscarriage, a woman’s body is relatively weak, and smoking could possibly induce infections, such as gynecological inflammation. After the miscarriage, it's important to avoid smoking and ensure rest, adequate sleep, enhanced nutrition, and intake of foods rich in protein and vitamins. It is also essential to drink plenty of water and maintain a positive mood. After the miscarriage, one should avoid heavy physical labor and spicy, stimulating foods to ensure a good mood and promote physical recovery.
