Can I take a shower during a miscarriage?

Pregnancy is a very big thing for women. The health of the pregnant woman is directly related to the development of the fetus. Some pregnant women with poor health may cause miscarriage, which brings great pain to parents who are looking forward to the birth of their children. Pregnant women should pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition after miscarriage, which is equivalent to confinement. Some women don’t know whether they can take a bath during miscarriage. Can they take a bath during miscarriage? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Can I take a bath during miscarriage?

If a woman has a miscarriage after becoming pregnant, it is recommended that she take a bath after a week. Taking a bath for a short time can easily lead to infection. Be sure not to let water enter the lower body when taking a bath. Suggestions: Rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the miscarriage, and do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month; keep the vulva clean and hygienic, prohibit sexual intercourse within one month, and do not take a tub bath within half a month to avoid bacterial invasion and infection; after the miscarriage, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. Take good contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy again; if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 2 weeks after abortion, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

2. What should you pay attention to in case of spontaneous abortion?

1. After a miscarriage, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after a miscarriage to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting early repair of damaged organs. After a miscarriage, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

2. Keep the vulva clean after a miscarriage and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After a miscarriage, the cervix has not yet completely closed and the endometrium also has a process of repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sexual intercourse too early after a miscarriage, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after a miscarriage.

3. Observe the bleeding. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after a miscarriage, and is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4. Adhere to contraception. After a miscarriage, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't stick to contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after a miscarriage, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Contraception must be the main method, and abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.

3. Suggestions

It is recommended that women not only pay attention to rest, supplement nutrition, maintain good hygiene and take good contraceptive measures, but also need to adjust their mentality to a good state. Only in this way will it not affect future pregnancy plans.
