The occurrence of natural miscarriage is somewhat related to the quality of the male's sperm. When the vitality of the sperm and the rate of sperm abnormalities are both decreased, it tends to lead to miscarriage. The combination of sperm and egg requires both to be healthy to conceive a healthy baby. If the quality of the sperm is poor, it might lead to miscarriage even if a fertilized egg is formed. Therefore, before pregnancy, both men and women should go to the hospital for pre-pregnancy check-ups to see if their bodies are suitable for pregnancy. If the sperm quality is poor, it should be regulated, and pregnancy should only be attempted after the sperm quality has been improved.

What to eat to recuperate from a natural miscarriage

After experiencing a miscarriage, women should pay attention to developing good living habits. Since a miscarriage can cause certain damage to a woman's body, it is important to prioritize rest and ensure adequate sleep. Women should strive for a relaxed mood, avoid excessive depression, enhance nutrition, and consume foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, lean meat, milk, apples, bananas, and grapes. These can provide the nutrients needed for recovery. However, it is important to avoid raw, cold, spicy, stimulating foods, as well as certain cooling foods, which should be completely avoided after a miscarriage.

What is lochia after a natural miscarriage?

Vaginal bleeding is a symptom of natural miscarriage, and this is known as lochia. Lochia is the discharge from the vagina after childbirth, typically ceasing about a week postpartum. After a natural miscarriage, normal bleeding lochia generally has a bloody smell but does not have any other odorous scents. Following a natural miscarriage, it is important to monitor the expulsion of lochia, paying attention to its amount, color, and odor changes, as these factors can reflect the recovery of the uterus. Normally, the lochia will clear up around a week, and it should not last longer than two weeks at most. If lochia persists for an extended period after the miscarriage and is accompanied by abdominal discomfort, a hospital visit is necessary for a follow-up to check the condition of the uterus.

How long does it take to get a period after a natural miscarriage?

For patients who have had a spontaneous miscarriage, if their menstrual cycle is usually regular, the first day of the spontaneous miscarriage is the time when their next period would begin. However, if the miscarriage is incomplete and a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure is required, the first day after the D&C is considered the start date for the next menstrual cycle. Some people experience spontaneous miscarriages due to menstrual irregularities and an irregular menstrual cycle, which may be caused by hormonal imbalances. In such cases, the timing of the next period after a miscarriage is uncertain. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the next period can be estimated based on the aforementioned timings. However, if the cycle is irregular, the timing of the next period post-miscarriage primarily depends on the condition of the endometrium. If the endometrium has recovered to a thickness of 1.0 or more, menstruation is likely to occur. If the endometrial lining is thin, menstruation may not occur for the time being. Therefore, the length of time until menstruation resumes following a spontaneous miscarriage also requires monitoring of the hormonal balance and the regularity of the usual menstrual cycle.

Can a missed miscarriage miscarry naturally?

Missed miscarriage and spontaneous miscarriage are two terms describing early pregnancy conditions, but there is a significant difference between them. Missed miscarriage refers to the absence of a fetal heartbeat confirmed by ultrasound in early pregnancy, which indicates that the embryo has stopped developing. On the other hand, spontaneous miscarriage refers to the spontaneous expulsion of the gestational sac from the uterine cavity. In the case of a missed miscarriage, it is important to expedite the miscarriage process to expel the gestational sac from the uterus, minimizing the impact on the mother. It is possible for a missed miscarriage to lead to a spontaneous miscarriage, but it may not happen automatically. For a missed miscarriage, if a spontaneous miscarriage occurs, that is preferable. However, if there are no signs of spontaneous miscarriage, it is not advisable to wait indefinitely. Prompt medical intervention is recommended, and the choice of medical or surgical abortion is available.

Is natural miscarriage dangerous?

Miscarriages that occur before the 28th week of pregnancy generally do not cause significant harm to the expectant mother. This situation is relatively common, mostly due to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo or environmental stimuli affecting the pregnant woman, such as abdominal impacts, extreme emotional fluctuations, fatigue, or staying up late, all of which may lead to spontaneous miscarriage. Under normal circumstances, spontaneous miscarriages do not lead to particularly serious consequences. However, some women may experience significant bleeding or infections of the reproductive system during a miscarriage, which require timely hemostasis and infection control. Additionally, it is advised to promptly visit a hospital in the event of a miscarriage and follow the doctor's guidance for management.
