Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. Previously, I had sex without protection, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday, I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
A miscarriage is similar to giving birth in terms of its impact on a woman's health, both being major drains on her vitality. After a miscarriage, the body tends to be weaker, so it's best to have a short postpartum recovery period. The diet after a miscarriage is similar to that during postpartum recovery: it should include low-sodium, high-protein foods that help replenish energy, boost qi, and promote the removal of blood clots, such as pigeon and goji berry soup, egg and jujube soup, longan, and hawthorn. Avoid spicy, stimulating, cold, greasy, and alcoholic foods. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Level 3 hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
