Detailed Answer
Preparing for Pregnancy Again After Miscarriage
After a spontaneous miscarriage, missed miscarriage, or D&C procedure, the endometrium is in a state of shock. Western medicine permits trying again after 1-2 normal menstrual cycles, but Korean medicine recommends first completing blood-stasis removal and replenishment of qi and blood.
Dongjedang's post-miscarriage care stages:
- Immediately after miscarriage: blood-activating prescriptions to promote uterine contraction and clear residual tissue
- Weeks 2-4: replenishing qi and blood (Bohyeol-tang and Samul-tang family formulas) to restore strength
- Months 1-3: endometrial regeneration treatment and correction of cold syndrome
- After 3 months: preparing for pregnancy again with Chaksang-tang (implantation decoction)
If you are in the Dong-gu or Dongincheon area of Incheon and are considering post-miscarriage Korean medicine care, please visit the Dongjedang Women's Clinic for a constitutional assessment.
