If you have experience of pregnancy, then you will definitely be familiar with lochia. After giving birth to a baby, mothers usually begin to expel lochia, which can be cleared within a certain period of time. But many people don't know that miscarriage can also result in lochia. So, how long does it take to clear lochia after a natural miscarriage?
The time for lochia to be expelled after abortion varies from person to person, usually around a week. However, if the time is relatively long, it is likely to be an abnormal phenomenon and requires timely medical examination and targeted treatment. After an abortion, the amount of lochia is generally small, with a dark red color that does not exceed the menstrual flow.
Generally speaking, the longer the pregnancy month, the more similar the duration of lochia to that of lochia that appears after childbirth, which usually lasts for a month. As long as the lochia gradually decreases and there is no odor, it is normal. After an abortion, it is important to observe one's physical condition and seek medical attention promptly if there are any issues.
After the abortion surgery, it is necessary to rest well, ensure sufficient sleep time, avoid high-intensity work, and mainly consume light, rich and nutritious foods. In addition, it is also possible to eat more iron rich foods, such as egg yolks, lean meat, animal liver, animal blood, various green leafy vegetables, etc. It is also important to drink plenty of water to help expel lochia as soon as possible.
