Patient's question:
I just had a minor abortion surgery today. After going back, I felt completely weak, my whole body was sore and I couldn't stand up. I was dizzy and lightheaded, and my lower abdomen was in severe pain with continuous bleeding. I didn't want to eat anything but craved a little sweet and sour fruit. After an abortion, can I eat fruit?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion surgery, it is normal to experience excessive blood loss and feel weak. Therefore, it is essential to rest in bed at home. It may take at least a week to regain your strength. During this period, eat plenty of foods that boost energy and vitality. However, fruits are quite cooling, so it is best to avoid them for now. If you really want to eat fruits, make sure to choose warm-natured ones and consume them while they are warm. Avoid getting cold at all costs. A gynecological ultrasound follow-up is recommended 10 days later.
