Use a spittoon for urination and defecation, and pay attention to whether there is any tissue discharged. If you have any, you need to see a doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than twice the amount of menstrual flow, you should seek medical attention immediately and be closely observed, and the obstetrician and gynecologist will handle it as appropriate.
