Patient's question:
My girlfriend has been on her period for more than twenty days after an abortion. I want to cook something for her to help her recover. I feel it's all my fault. But as this is my first time cooking for her, I don't know what to prepare to help her replenish her energy. Doctor, what should she eat to help her recover after more than twenty days of an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Twenty days after the abortion surgery, she can eat more foods that replenish qi and blood. Encourage her to eat more meat, eggs, and seafood. She should also consume seasonal fruits, vegetables, jujubes, and other foods.After an abortion, the repair of the endometrium takes about a month. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month after the surgery. Advise her not to engage in heavy physical labor, to take care to avoid cold exposure, and to avoid strenuous exercise.
