When can I take a shower after a miscarriage?

Some people need to terminate their pregnancy due to unexpected pregnancy or poor physical condition. Usually in the first three months of pregnancy, the pregnancy is terminated through medical abortion or surgical abortion. So when can you take a shower after a miscarriage and what should you pay attention to after a miscarriage? This is also a question that most women want to know. Next, let’s take a look at some common precautions after miscarriage.

Generally, you need to rest for half a month or a month after a miscarriage. People call this period of time "small confinement". After a miscarriage, because the uterus has new trauma and vaginal bleeding, retrograde infection is easy to occur. Therefore, you are prohibited from taking a bath before the end of pregnancy and from having sex within a month. During the rest period, you should exercise appropriately to facilitate the discharge of blood accumulated in the uterus. It is wrong not to take a bath or go out to exercise.

In addition, a woman's recovery after miscarriage is also related to whether she pays attention to relevant matters after miscarriage. Therefore, in order to recover as quickly as possible after miscarriage, women should pay attention to precautions after miscarriage and should also pay attention to the following situations.

1. After the miscarriage, you should eat more nutritious, light and easily digestible foods and fruits. Within one week after the miscarriage, you should eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans and bean products. Do not eat irritating foods such as chili peppers, tobacco and alcohol, as these things will stimulate congestion of the sexual organs and increase vaginal blood flow. At the same time, female friends with poor physical fitness should also ensure adequate iron supplementation.

2. Pay attention to rest. Female friends should pay attention to bed rest after miscarriage. Generally speaking, it is best to rest for about a week. If there is no condition, you should rest for 2-3 days, and then gradually increase the activity time. At the same time, do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within one week after miscarriage to avoid catching cold.

3. Pay attention to bleeding. Vaginal bleeding usually occurs after miscarriage, but it usually does not last more than a week. If it lasts more than a week and is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for timely examination and treatment.

4. Due to bleeding after miscarriage, you must keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse within one month. After 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 abortion to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too early after an abortion, 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 the abortion.

The above is a detailed introduction to when women can take a bath after miscarriage and some common precautions. I believe that some women now have a deeper understanding of some precautions after miscarriage. Abortion for women is equivalent to a short confinement period. You must pay attention to your diet. After a miscarriage, you should eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, and pay more attention to rest.
