Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion a few days ago. She has a strong preference for spicy food and dislikes it. Since she doesn't like spicy food, she doesn't eat much dinner. Even after the abortion, she insists on eating spicy food. The doctor said the diet should be light, and I'm a bit worried. What happens if you eat spicy food after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
If a person eats stimulating food too early after an abortion, such as spicy and sour dishes, it can easily irritate the uterus, leading to abdominal pain and cramps. Additionally, postoperative vaginal bleeding may be excessive or recur repeatedly. Therefore, it is recommended not to consume spicy or sour foods within the first month after an abortion. A light and nutritious diet should be followed, and sexual activity should be avoided for the entire month.
