Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling unwell. When I eat dinner, I feel nauseous and dry. My period hasn't come for a few days. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I went to the hospital and had an abortion. What should I eat to replenish my qi after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, you should eat a lot of foods that boost qi to help your body fully recover. You can drink a lot of brown sugar or jujubes, as they both have qi-boosting effects. Qi-boosting foods include stir-fried pork liver, pork liver and jujube soup, ginger and jujube brown sugar water, hawthorn and cassia brown sugar soup, ginger juice Job's tears porridge, and black fungus and jujube beverage, all of which have remarkable soothing and qi-boosting effects. Pay attention to hygiene in the lower body to prevent gynecological infections. Common qi-boosting foods include black beans, seaweed, carrots, gluten, spinach, golden needle vegetables, and longan meat. Qi-boosting foods include stir-fried pork liver, pork liver and jujube soup, ginger and jujube brown sugar water, hawthorn and cassia brown sugar soup, ginger juice Job's tears porridge, and black fungus and jujube beverage.
