How long does it take for a natural miscarriage to complete?

In general, how long it takes for a natural miscarriage to complete depends on the specific circumstances. If the woman's condition is good, a natural miscarriage typically completes within 3-10 days. However, under special circumstances, it may take longer. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the pregnancy is in its early stage, with a gestational age of less than 8 weeks, and there are no discomforts after the natural miscarriage, it usually takes 3-10 days for the miscarriage to complete. This is a natural process and indicates the expulsion of the embryo. No special treatment is required, and the body will recover naturally once all the embryonic tissue has been expelled.

However, if the pregnancy is more advanced, with a gestational age greater than 8 weeks, or if complications such as infection or heavy bleeding occur after the miscarriage, the time required for complete expulsion may be prolonged, and in some cases, the tissue may not be completely expelled naturally. It is recommended to seek timely medical advice for a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure, which uses a suction device to remove any remaining embryonic tissue.

After a natural miscarriage, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities and excessive fatigue. Sexual intercourse should be limited, and personal hygiene should be maintained to promote recovery and reduce the risk of infection.
