Patient's question:
Recently I have been taking abortion pills, and the doctor said I need to pay attention to my diet. What foods should I avoid when taking abortion pills?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is only effective for early pregnancy within 49 days. The main drugs used in medication abortion are mifepristone and misoprostol. During medication, it is not advisable to consume extremely cold or spicy foods, as this is detrimental to the medication abortion process. This is because the medication period itself can easily lead to recurring abdominal pain. If you consume these foods, it may alleviate the abdominal pain, although medication abortion causes less harm to women's health, it still carries the possibility of residual tissue remaining. Follow-up after medication abortion is crucial. If there is residual tissue, a procedure called uterine aspiration may be necessary.
