Q After recurrent miscarriage, what can I do at home to help my uterus recover?
A Keeping the lower abdomen warm is key. Warming the lower abdomen with a heat pack, supporting circulation with foot baths, reducing cold and raw foods, and stabilizing your hormonal rhythm by going to bed before 11 p.m. are the basics of lifestyle management.
Detailed Answer
For daily care to support uterine recovery after recurrent miscarriage, applying heat to the lower abdomen (15-20 minutes a day) to aid pelvic blood flow and using foot baths or half-body baths to promote whole-body circulation are helpful. Minimize things that chill the uterus, such as cold drinks, shaved ice, and raw foods, and protect your hormonal rhythm with regular sleep (going to bed before 11 p.m.). Rather than vigorous exercise, we recommend a light 20-30 minute walk to aid pelvic circulation.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we view these lifestyle habits as a way to maintain in daily life the warmth that Korean medicine treatment brings to the uterus. When treatment that delivers warmth deep into the lower abdomen through large moxibustion (wangtteum) or herbal vaginal steaming (jwahun) works together with home care of warm foods and heat application, the effect of uterine recovery is maximized.
