What to eat after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my friend just had an abortion and has been lying in bed for the past two days, eating a little light food but not daring to eat meat. The only thing she's felt physically is a slight discomfort in her stomach occasionally. Now, how should she eat and how should she be adjusted? What is the best diet after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to eat spicy or irritating foods and to consume more easily digestible fruits and vegetables. After a miscarriage, it is generally advised to use anti-inflammatory drugs and medications to promote the complete recovery of the uterus after a painless artificial abortion. Rest for two days, lie down appropriately, and avoid heavy physical labor.
7-10 days after the surgery, eat nutrient-rich foods and avoid cold drinks. Do not eat spicy foods within one month. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Wash with warm water 1 to 2 times a day. Do not take sit baths if vaginal bleeding is not clean. Avoid sexual activity within one month to prevent genital infections.
If you have a fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal vaginal discharge, seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition. Painless abortion patients should lie down for 2-3 days, then gradually increase the duration of movement.
