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 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.

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 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 long does it take to get a period after a natural miscarriage?

For patients who have had a spontaneous miscarriage, if their menstrual cycle is usually regular, the first day of the spontaneous miscarriage is the time when their next period would begin. However, if the miscarriage is incomplete and a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure is required, the first day after the D&C is considered the start date for the next menstrual cycle. Some people experience spontaneous miscarriages due to menstrual irregularities and an irregular menstrual cycle, which may be caused by hormonal imbalances. In such cases, the timing of the next period after a miscarriage is uncertain. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the next period can be estimated based on the aforementioned timings. However, if the cycle is irregular, the timing of the next period post-miscarriage primarily depends on the condition of the endometrium. If the endometrium has recovered to a thickness of 1.0 or more, menstruation is likely to occur. If the endometrial lining is thin, menstruation may not occur for the time being. Therefore, the length of time until menstruation resumes following a spontaneous miscarriage also requires monitoring of the hormonal balance and the regularity of the usual menstrual cycle.

Does a natural miscarriage require surgery?

Generally, after a natural miscarriage, it is not necessary to undergo surgical treatment, as it is usually possible to naturally expel the contents completely. Typically, after a natural miscarriage, the pregnancy tissue can be expelled from the body through contractions of the uterus. However, if there is residual tissue after the miscarriage, a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure may be required. It is recommended to have an ultrasound at a hospital after a miscarriage to check for any residuals in the uterine cavity. Then, medication or a D&C can be used to remove any remaining tissue. After a natural miscarriage, it is important for a woman to adjust her mindset and take good care of her body to recover and prevent any diseases.
