Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 28 years old. I got married to my husband last month, but after the wedding, I found out I was pregnant. I chose to have an abortion, and I have a question I would like to consult the doctor about. How long after an abortion can I eat cold and spicy food?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the body is relatively weak, and the immune system is also relatively low. The uterus also needs a certain amount of time to heal. Within the first week after the surgery, most women will experience slight vaginal bleeding. If cold, sour, spicy, or other stimulating foods are consumed too early, it can easily lead to incomplete vaginal bleeding or a significant increase in bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended to wait at least one month after the surgery before consuming cold, sour, or spicy foods.
