Patient's question:
Sister-in-law had an abortion soon after becoming pregnant due to certain reasons. She didn't feel much discomfort after the surgery, but her body was a bit weak. Mom wants to buy some supplements to help her recover. She heard from others that taking traditional Chinese medicine for recovery is quite good, but can she eat traditional Chinese medicine after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is acceptable to take traditional Chinese medicine after giving birth. Generally, a miscarriage can lead to anemia in women, so it is advisable to use medication for recovery, stabilize the weakened constitution, or actively prevent intrauterine infections. However, avoid spicy foods in the coming days. Pay attention to scheduling a follow-up check-up around the 4-week mark to monitor the condition of the uterus. Focus on enhancing nutrition, regulating physical and mental health, and maintaining personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
