Will the uterus become thinner after a miscarriage?

Pregnancy is the happiest thing for women, but if a woman has certain diseases or a weak constitution, it may lead to spontaneous abortion, which will have some impact on the body. So, will the uterus become thinner after spontaneous abortion? Let's find out together.

Generally speaking, miscarriage causes the endometrium to be thinner, which should recover naturally after 3 menstrual cycles.

After the abortion, you should pay attention to vaginal bleeding. Generally speaking, if the gestational sac is discharged relatively completely, the amount of bleeding should be similar to the normal menstrual flow. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, or the bleeding lasts for about a month, it means that the abortion is incomplete or there is a concurrent infection, and you need to go to the hospital immediately for a diagnostic curettage.

After a miscarriage, you need to rest in bed for a few days, and try to walk as little as possible in the first one or two days. It is best to sleep on a hard bed, which can better support the body and avoid soreness and discomfort in the waist.

Keep your lower body clean and fresh, wash it every day, and change your pads and underwear in time to prevent blood from breeding bacteria and causing infection. Since the uterine cavity expands during abortion, you cannot sit in a bath to prevent dirty water from flowing back.

Avoid contact with cold water for at least half a month after a miscarriage. Contact with cold water too early can cause damage to the joints, and this damage usually only manifests itself in middle-aged and elderly people. If conditions permit, it is best to wait until the boiled water is not hot before using it.

To prevent infection, antibiotics should be taken orally or intravenously under the guidance of a doctor, and some drugs to promote uterine contraction should be taken at the same time.

Pay attention to sleep and diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and protein-rich foods, avoid spicy and cold foods. Do not participate in physical labor or strenuous exercise.

If there is still bleeding and abdominal pain ten days after the curettage, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.

Since abortion causes great damage to the uterus, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month. Moreover, having sex too early will bring in bacteria from the outside world and cause gynecological inflammation. Contraception should also be used after one month, and it is best to use condoms as a contraceptive method, which will minimize the harm to women.
