Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and now I have a child. Recently, I got pregnant, but I don't want this child. Please ask, what foods are helpful for recovery after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, a woman's body is relatively weak. At this time, it is recommended to focus on replenishment, primarily from high-quality protein foods and iron-rich foods. Because she has lost a significant amount of blood, she also needs to replenish nutrients from vitamin-rich foods. Vitamin-rich foods can enhance the absorption and utilization of protein and iron. Foods containing high-quality protein are particularly effective for the human body to absorb and utilize. For example, lean meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Additionally, iron-rich foods should be included, such as animal organs like chicken liver and duck liver, which are rich in iron and even more so than lean meat. Another option is to give her a bowl of eight-treasure congee daily, based on red beans. These foods are high in iron, so the focus for women after a miscarriage should be on replenishment.
