Patient's question:
The other day, I just had an abortion. Now I feel dizzy and have a headache, and my whole body feels weak. My husband wants to cook brown sugar water to replenish my energy. But I'm not sure if I can drink it, afraid that I can't replenish energy right after a miscarriage. I'd like to consult a doctor to see if I can drink brown sugar water after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Just had a minor surgical procedure. Drinking brown sugar water is very beneficial. It can help replenish qi and nourish blood, as well as remove blood clots or residual tissue from the uterine cavity. Therefore, it is very beneficial to drink some brown sugar water appropriately within one week after a miscarriage. However, do not drink too much, as excessive consumption of brown sugar water may cause discomfort symptoms such as stomach acid and bloating. If there are no special circumstances, it is best to have a follow-up ultrasound examination at the hospital around ten days after the miscarriage.
