Patient's question:
Accidentally got pregnant, but was taking birth control pills, so had to have an abortion. Three days after the abortion, breast swelling has reappeared again. It's very hard and hurts very badly. Besides, there's a milky liquid leaking out. Also, after the surgery, the skin didn't break much, but I feel very tired. I want to know what to pay attention to after an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Please note that women who have undergone induced abortion are equivalent to having given birth once. Therefore, milk engorgement is normal, and physical labor should absolutely not be engaged in too soon, otherwise, it is easy to develop the root cause of "uterine prolapse." After an induced abortion, it is important to consume nutrient-rich foods, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Within the first half month, focus on consuming chicken, lean meat, eggs, dairy products, and beans and bean products. Avoid stimulating foods such as chili peppers and alcohol, as these can stimulate blood flow to the reproductive organs and increase vaginal bleeding.
