Patient's question:
My cousin just had a child and it hasn't been a year yet. She has been feeling nauseous recently. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, she discovered she is pregnant again. Since her older child is still young, she cannot keep this pregnancy. My cousin decided to have an abortion without anesthesia, but after the procedure, her abdomen has been in pain. A detailed examination at the hospital revealed blood clots in her uterus. What should she do after having blood clots following an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is indeed the case that taking oral motherwort can help enhance uterine contraction and expel blood stagnation. Additionally, it is important to protect the abdomen from cold, drink some brown sugar water, and avoid extremely cold and foods. It is also advisable to consume more qi-boosting foods and maintain a positive mood, which is beneficial for the body's complete recovery. At the same time, regular follow-up checks should be conducted to monitor the body's condition.
