What supplements should women take after miscarriage to help their bodies recover quickly?

Some women don’t even know they are pregnant. They just think that they haven’t had their period for a long time. Some people say that it is menstruation, so they don’t take it seriously. Unexpectedly, both legs are wet and bleeding. When they rushed to the hospital, the doctor said that they had miscarried and the fetus was almost four months old. As a result, after the mother knew about it, she came to the house every day to cook tonics, saying that even if you have miscarried, you still need to stay in confinement and take care of your body as soon as possible.

Should I take supplements after a miscarriage?

Liang Hongshuo, director of the obstetrics and gynecology department, said that he often hears patients complain about back pain because they did not take good care of themselves during the confinement period. He believes that women's bodies do suffer certain damage after miscarriage, but he does not think that back pain and physical weakness are really caused by not taking good care of themselves during the confinement period. In fact, early rural mothers often had to continue working a few days after giving birth, or even work in the fields, and there was no problem of being unhealthy.

Therefore, he believes that women who have had miscarriages should rest more. If they feel that taking some supplements will make them feel more secure, there is no harm in taking some Chinese medicine confinement meals. In addition, current research has found that Chinese medicine's Shenghua Tang does have the effect of promoting the elimination of lochia, and even many obstetrics and gynecology departments or confinement centers use it. Therefore, it does not deny the maintenance effect of traditional Chinese medicine on postpartum women. However, do not be suspicious and think that the deterioration of your body is caused by not taking good care of yourself during the confinement period. Do not regard Chinese medicine as a cure for illness or a strengthening of the body when you are not sick. Otherwise, if you take too much supplements, you will get acne on your face or other problems.

Why does miscarriage happen?

Liang Hongshuo said that in fact, early miscarriage in pregnancy may also be a process of natural selection! The first thing to consider in miscarriage is the problem of the mother itself. Is it poor corpus luteum function? Is the lack of progesterone causing poor implantation of the fetus? Or is it a bad uterine condition? The second thing to consider is that the embryo is abnormal, so natural selection occurs.

Most people may not understand that the elimination rate of each pregnancy is more than half. Liang Hongshuo said that some people may have a few days late menstruation or a heavier bleeding this month, which may be a miscarriage, but the person concerned has not discovered it. The situation of miscarriage is beyond our imagination, so he believes that everyone should not take miscarriage too seriously. We must be cautious about miscarriage, and patients must rest well, but they will not damage their bodies due to poor confinement after miscarriage.

However, if the miscarriage occurs more than twice, even if it is habitual miscarriage, attention must be paid to tracing the cause of the miscarriage, such as whether the couple has hidden factors for thalassemia, or other genetic diseases. It cannot be taken lightly and it is necessary to find out whether there is any underlying cause.

Abortion after five months is considered premature

Another thing to remind you is that if the miscarriage is more than five months, it is not just treated as an ordinary miscarriage, but as a birth, and it should be treated as a birth. Liang Hongshuo said that because the fetus is already very large after pregnancy for more than five months, the amniotic membrane and placenta are intact, and miscarriages over five months are called premature births in terms of treatment. All treatments are the same as childbirth. Afterwards, the mother should also pay attention to the discharge of lochia, and pay attention to recuperation after childbirth like sitting in confinement.

Deliveries over five months pregnant are the same as normal deliveries, and women can take eight weeks of maternity leave. Miscarriages within less than two months can take five days, miscarriages between two and three months can take seven days, and miscarriages over three months can take four weeks. Although there will be no baby to accompany the woman after the miscarriage, women still need to rest in bed.
