Bleeding After Miscarriage

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

There are no precise numbers and descriptions of what will happen in every case after a miscarriage. Every situation is different, depending on how far the pregnancy was and how each body handles it. But there are still some general guidelines that can give you an idea about what to expect.

What happens after a miscarriage?

Whether you have a D&C or a natural miscarriage, you may experience mild menstrual-like cramps afterward for a couple of days and light bleeding for a week or two.

  • Use pads instead of tampons
  • You can take acetaminophen or ibuprophen to ease the cramps pain
  • Avoid sex, swimming, douching and using vaginal medications for at least a week or two and until the bleeding stops.

We recommend that you use the Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins because of their:

  • high absorbency
  • anti-bacterial and deodorization functions
  • special bottom layer which allows air flow, prevents irritation and helps you feel comfortable.

How much bleeding should I expect after miscarriage?

The bleeding associated with a miscarriage can be heavy with large clots without meaning a medical emergency. But if you are soaking a sanitary pad in an hour, have any signs of infection (fever, achiness, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge) or feel excessive pain, call your practitioner immediately or go to the emergency room.

How long does bleeding last after miscarriage?

The duration of bleeding associated with a miscarriage is different for every woman, but the bleeding should not remain heavy for more than a few days and should stop within about two weeks in most cases. If you have had bleeding heavier than an average menstrual period for more than two or three days, it is a good idea to see your doctor to rule out complications.

Our First Winalite Year Overview

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I cannot believe it’s almost Christmas! Where did this year go?! And now, that we are getting to the end of it, it is a good time to take a moment and look back to evaluate things.

We started working with the Winalite at the beginning of this year. We were very excited to see the great results of our experiments and wanted to share them with everybody. Few people have heard of the Anion Sanitary Napkins at that time.

Now, almost a year later, the Winalite has sperad a lot, not only in the US, but also to many other countries and more and more people are using it. In February and March we were showing people what the Anion Sanitary Napkins can do for them. Now, we have many testimonies of what the Anion Sanitary Napkins did for women. These pads are no longer only a new great product, but also something that has been tried and works!

Women who have been using the Winalite pads for more months now report the following:

  • lighter and shorter periods
  • no cramping
  • no odor
  • no worry :)

One of my friends who has an ovarian cyst used to be in terrible pain when she was having her periods. That is all gone since she is using the Anion Sanitary Napkins. Many other women who used to have very bad cramps tell us how grateful they are to have found these pads which give them great relief from menstrual cramps.

I’ve just browsed through my previous posts, looked at the videos and pictures and read some of the articles. It’s a great satisfaction to be able to look back and see that the things you believed in really work! This was definitely a good year for our Winalite team. We hope it was the same for you and we wish you an even better one!

Happy Holidays!

The Winalite Team

Tampons or Pads?

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Once you’ve tried a tampon, you don’t want to use pads again. When wearing a tampon you can almost forget that it’s one of those days. Tampons are comfortable, discrete and much more practical than pads when you do sports. With tampons at hand, you won’t have to worry again about plans of doing some activities being ruined just because you are having your period. Another good thing about tampons is that they save you of the bad smell.

But is using tampons also healthy? The most serious risk about using tampons is toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare but very dangerous illness. While with your pad you can see when it is time to change it, it is not the same with a tampon. When using a tampon, you will have to remember to change it every four to six hours. Leaving one in too long, like all day or all night, can cause TSS.

Many women tend to use the most absorbent tampon thinking that this way they won’t have to change it as often. But when you keep a tampon in too long, bacteria can grow. If tampons are kept in for a long time, that gives the bacteria plenty of time to grow. These bacteria can grow within the tampon, enter the body from inside the vagina, then invade the bloodstream, releasing toxins that can cause a very severe, and occasionally life-threatening illness –TSS.

Symptoms of TSS include high fever, vomiting or diarrhea, severe muscle aches, a feeling of extreme weakness or dizziness, and a rash that looks like a sunburn. If you ever have these symptoms while wearing a tampon, remove it and go to the nearest emergency department as soon as possible.

So, while tampons can be most useful in some cases, doctors recommend that they be used alternatively with pads in order to prevent TSS. Or, even better, use high quality pads that can offer you high protection and comfort without putting your health at risk.

Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins produced by Winalite are made of best quality materials, they provide high absorbency and disease protection. They have a special unique layer of negative ions, which helps eliminate odor, diminish inflammation, relieve fatigue and improve immunity. Anion Sanitary Napkins allow air flow and they are very comfortable.

In conclusion, consider using Anion Sanitary Napkins for your best comfort and health.
