Do I need to take confinement after a miscarriage?

Although many people are unwilling to do so, miscarriage can still occur due to various reasons. There are many reasons that lead to spontaneous abortion, including chromosomal abnormalities, maternal endocrine disorders, and abnormalities of the maternal reproductive tract. Although abortion does not result in a complete pregnancy, it can cause great harm to a woman's body. So, is it necessary to observe confinement after a miscarriage? Let’s take a closer look below.

Is it necessary to have confinement after a miscarriage?

1. After a natural miscarriage, you still need to do a simple confinement period. If conditions are good, you can treat it as a confinement period. This is the most helpful way for women to recover. After a miscarriage, the uterus will also undergo a process of involution, including the cervix and vagina will gradually return to their original size. However, due to the shorter pregnancy period, there is almost no perineal wound, the recovery speed is relatively fast, and the pressure on the pelvic floor muscles and the impact on the bladder and urethra is relatively small.

2. If the pregnancy is more than 3 months premature, the breasts will continue to swell and secrete milk. Therefore, experts remind that it is very important for women to take care of their bodies after miscarriage.

What to do if you have a miscarriage

1. Threatened abortion: a small amount of vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain or lower back pain occurs in the early stages of pregnancy. The pregnancy can still continue after appropriate tocolytic treatment. Inevitable abortion: if the fetal membrane ruptures in the early stages, resulting in vaginal secretions, active tocolytic treatment can be used in the absence of bleeding or labor pains. However, if the symptoms worsen or even a fever occurs, termination of the pregnancy should be considered.

2. Incomplete miscarriage: if the placental tissue cannot be completely expelled along with the embryo, it will remain in the uterus. Because the amount of bleeding will be heavy, it must be treated urgently with vacuum aspiration and scraping surgery; recurrent miscarriage: three or more consecutive spontaneous abortions are called this. If you do not want a child, you should still take contraceptive measures and not get pregnant easily. If you are prone to miscarriage, it is best to stay in bed to protect the fetus.
