Do not try to “clean” the uterus at home; let the body pass tissue naturally
Rest and avoid strenuous activity
Drink plenty of water
Eat balanced meals with iron-rich foods
Use a heating pad on the lower abdomen for cramping
Take only medications approved by a healthcare professional
Use sanitary pads, not tampons or menstrual cups, until bleeding stops
Avoid douching or inserting anything into the vagina
Avoid sex until a clinician says it is safe
Monitor bleeding, pain, and fever closely
Seek medical care if bleeding is heavy, pain is severe, foul-smelling discharge occurs, or fever develops
Get an ultrasound or follow-up visit if tissue may still be retained
Contact a healthcare professional before using any herbal or home remedies
