[메디컬투데이=김준수 기자] As the age of marriage gradually decreases, the average age of pregnant women is also increasing, and as a result, the number of women suffering from natural and moored miscarriages is increasing. However, in the case of women living in society, there are many cases where they cannot take care of themselves sufficiently after a miscarriage because it is difficult to take a vacation or awareness of the importance of taking care of themselves after a miscarriage is not universally recognized.
The cause of miscarriage has not been clearly identified, but it is estimated to be caused by congenital factors such as genetic diseases of the fetus or abnormal secretion of hormones in the mother, or maternal stress and weakness.
The medical definition of miscarriage is the death of a fetus in the early stages of pregnancy when it loses its ability to survive on its own. Abortion is classified according to symptoms as complete, incomplete, imminent, unavoidable, or habitual abortion. Among them, missed abortion, a state in which a dead fetus remains in the uterus for a certain period of time, is not easy for mothers to be aware of the symptoms, so there are many cases in which the miscarriage is discovered belatedly.

Park Ji-young, director of Bucheon Best Oriental Medicine Clinic, said, “Since ancient times, in oriental medicine, miscarriage has been called half birth or small birth, and it has been emphasized to take care of yourself as carefully as you gave birth. In the case of mooring miscarriage, curettage is performed to expel the fetus and placenta remnants in the uterus, so there is a high probability of suffering postpartum symptoms that make the whole body feel cold and windy. Therefore, it is very important to fully recover the body after a miscarriage, and herbal medicine after a miscarriage can help.”
“After a miscarriage, it is good to use contraception for at least three months to give the uterus and body enough time to rest before preparing for the next pregnancy. The best time to take herbal medicine after a miscarriage is right after a miscarriage for quick discharge of blood. If you neglect to take care of your body after a miscarriage, it can lead to other diseases and even infertility due to a decrease in immunity, so you need to take care of yourself.”
