Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for a while. After a thorough check-up, I found that the fetus has problems. After hesitating for some time, I finally made the decision to have an abortion. After the abortion, the physical damage is quite significant. The doctor suggested that I should focus on digesting and absorbing nutrients. So, is it good to eat protein powder after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion surgery, protein powder can be consumed to digest nutrients. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse within one month after the procedure. It is also strictly forbidden to take baths (either hot or cold) during this period. Once sexual life is completely restored after the abortion, it is essential to use contraception. It is not recommended to conceive until at least one year has passed. Eat plenty of protein-rich foods, fresh vegetables, and fruits. After the abortion surgery, it is crucial to closely monitor the amount of bleeding. If the bleeding amount is less than your usual menstrual flow, you must immediately undergo a follow-up examination. An ultrasound check should be performed to determine if there are any remnants in the uterine cavity.
