Patient's question:
I accidentally found out I was pregnant. Fortunately, I found out early, and I can have a medication abortion. It has been three days since the medication abortion, and are there any other things I need to pay attention to? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet and sleep schedule? Can I eat some nutritious foods?Doctor's answer:
Three days after taking medication for an abortion, it is essential to pay close attention and carefully monitor the amount of bleeding. If any abnormal symptoms occur, such as bleeding less than one week, it may be due to residual tissue that has not been fully expelled, which might require a D&C procedure. Additionally, in terms of diet, it is important to consume foods that replenish blood and qi. Avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods. It is also necessary to take precautions against cold exposure while working and avoid getting chilled. Furthermore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited for one month.
