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 after a natural miscarriage can one go outside?

After a natural miscarriage, it is still necessary to consider the specific recovery situation to determine whether one can go out. If the recovery from a natural miscarriage is good, with no residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity and no abnormal vaginal bleeding, normal life and work can usually resume half a month after the miscarriage. If there are complications, or if symptoms like persistent vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for an examination. This helps to determine whether there are any remaining embryonic tissues or if a pelvic infection or other abnormal conditions are causing these symptoms, so that timely and appropriate treatment can be administered.

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.

Do the symptoms of spontaneous miscarriage include bleeding?

During a natural miscarriage, vaginal bleeding occurs. This is because, after a miscarriage, the gestational sac and shed uterine lining also need to be expelled from the body, resulting in vaginal bleeding. Typically, this bleeding lasts about a week, gradually diminishing until it stops. If vaginal bleeding after a natural miscarriage persists for an extended period, even exceeding ten days without stopping, and is accompanied by abdominal pain, it is necessary to visit the hospital for an ultrasound to check for any remnants within the uterine cavity and possibly undergo a dilation and curettage procedure.

How long to rest after a natural miscarriage?

Women will experience both physical and psychological impacts after a miscarriage, and the body needs time to recover. Therefore, it is best to rest for at least two weeks before going back to work after a miscarriage. It is crucial to rest, avoid fatigue, and refrain from vigorous exercise. Consuming foods rich in proteins and vitamins, such as eggs, lean meats, milk, fresh vegetables, and fruits, can help enhance resistance and promote healing post-miscarriage.

Does a natural miscarriage count as an abortion?

Is miscarriage considered the same as abortion? These are not the same concepts, but they share similarities. Miscarriage is due to factors related to the mother or fetus, leading to the natural loss of the embryo, whereas abortion involves artificially inducing the removal of the embryo from the womb. Although miscarriages might also result in some postpartum complications, abortions tend to have more complications due to the artificial means involved. These artificial ways include surgical abortion procedures, during which there might be risks of infection and damage to the uterine lining.
