How to recover from an early miscarriage

An early miscarriage causes not only a stressful condition, but also affects the general condition of the female body. An unwanted event often leads to complications, which requires increased attention to one's own health and an effective recovery program.

What can an early miscarriage lead to?

A miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, is considered early if it occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy. The reason for this may be the body's rejection of an inferior fetus, the presence of various infections in the mother, Rhesus conflict, etc.

The possible consequences of a miscarriage are varied. These can be:

• inflammatory processes;
• prolonged bleeding;
• intense pain during menstruation;
• subfebrile body temperature.

Even in the absence of these conditions, the recovery of the body after an early miscarriage is a mandatory step. This is necessary in order to normalize the functioning of the uterus and hormonal levels.

Conception occurs quite often after spontaneous abortion. In order to prevent a recurrence of the previous situation, it is important to complete the rehabilitation period (from 6 to 12 months), and not rush into a new pregnancy.

The main stages of recovery after a miscarriage

There is a chart explaining how to recover from an early miscarriage. During the first day, it is recommended to devote maximum time to rest and good sleep. Every 10-15 minutes it is useful to knead the lower and upper limbs.

If pain occurs, Ibuprofen, Cyclopam or Buscopan is recommended. To get rid of migraine, pain in the abdomen and back without medication, it is recommended to apply compresses to the desired areas (alternating hot and cold).

In the first 5 days after an early miscarriage, constant measurement of body temperature is necessary. If the thermometer reaches 37.6 or more ° C, you should immediately visit a doctor. This condition often indicates a developing infection in the main reproductive organ (uterus) or outside it.

Further recovery after an early miscarriage involves the following actions:

• monthly abstinence from intimate contacts, visiting saunas and baths, taking hot baths;
• refusal to use vaginal tampons and lifting weights;
• temporary ban on intensive sports;
• 3-month use of effective contraceptives after the onset of sexual activity;
• taking medications for treatment after an early miscarriage.

In the period following a spontaneous abortion, doctors resort to ultrasound. This helps to identify possible residues in the uterine cavity of the fetal egg.

Treatment after an early miscarriage involves the appointment of drugs with a hemostatic effect (Dicinon, Vikasol, Calcium chloride) and antibiotics (Macropen, Doxycycline, Trichopolum). Reception of medicines lasts 5-7 days. In order to prevent the onset of another pregnancy, it is necessary to take oral contraceptives ("Marvelon", "Janine").

An important indicator of the state of the female body is vaginal discharge. After a miscarriage, it is necessary to monitor their condition (quantity, color, consistency). Normally, the duration of discharge is 4-10 days. In case of their abundant appearance and bright color, as well as general malaise, it is necessary to visit a doctor.

Additional Recommendations

Additionally, during rehabilitation after an early miscarriage, experts recommend adhering to the following rules:

• daily be in the fresh air for at least 20 minutes;
• use only sanitary napkins, changing them after 6-8 hours;
• in order to prevent the development of infection, take 1-2 showers a day;
• to avoid irritation and inflammation, douching is prohibited, as well as treating areas near the vagina with soap or antiseptics.

Of particular importance is a properly organized diet. A balanced composition of food helps to quickly return to the usual rhythm of life and fills the body with the necessary energy. To do this, you should eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Dairy and seafood products, fresh vegetables and fruits should be on the table every day.

Proper drinking regimen is also important. During the day you need to drink up to 8 glasses of water. Many experts prescribe folic acid preparations that help the body recover as soon as possible after an early miscarriage and replenish blood loss.

In addition to drug therapy, support and understanding of loved ones are important for a woman. With a positive attitude, the recovery of a weakened body will be much faster, which will allow you to feel the joy of real motherhood in the near future.
