Can I clean my vulva after a miscarriage?

You should not rush to clean the vulva after a miscarriage, because there is a lot of vaginal secretions during a miscarriage. If we clean the vulva at this time, it will cause infection. Therefore, it is best to clean the vulva when there is no vaginal secretion. You can use warm water to clean it. Warm water can be disinfected. In addition, you should pay more attention to rest after a miscarriage. You cannot have sex immediately. In addition, you should check whether the uterus is clean after the abortion operation.

1. If it has been a while since the abortion and there is no bleeding or bloody exudate, you can gently wash your lower body, preferably with warm water. Do not use lotions and soaps for the time being to avoid unnecessary infection. Remember, even if there is no bleeding, you cannot have sex immediately. This is very important.

2. The best thing is to clean thoroughly before having an abortion. If you have just had an abortion, try to wipe your body with a wet towel. If it has been three or five days and you feel well, you can take a shower. However, not taking a shower for a few days is unhygienic and more likely to cause infection. Just don't wash the vagina when washing, just rinse the vulva with clean water. Also, do not engage in heavy physical labor within one month after the abortion.

3. For a period of time after an abortion, the trauma on the endometrium cannot recover immediately, and the cervix becomes loose. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, the bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. If you feel feverish, have stomach discomfort, or have excessive yellow vaginal discharge with an odor, see a doctor immediately.

Note:

After the abortion, you should pay attention to rest and strengthen your nutrition. Eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and fresh vegetables to speed up your body's recovery. It is best not to touch cold water within a week. Use a special washbasin and towel, boil them in boiling water for disinfection, and wait until the water is naturally cool enough to not be hot to the touch to wash the vulva. Don't be afraid of the trouble. This is equivalent to disinfecting yourself and can prevent infection.
